Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $69,205 a year, $5,767.08 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Year 2 of the Somerset Hills certificated guides issued for the 2024-2028 agreement ratification; the same document prints 2025-26 as Year 1 and 2027-28 as Year 3.
The guide prints seven rate columns under eight headings: the last column carries both MA+60 and DOC over a single set of rates, and is published here as MA+60/DOC. Column pitch on the page is a uniform 192 pixels at 300 dpi with seven value columns, which is how that was settled.
Secretary, custodian, maintenance, part-time nurse and paraprofessional guides in the same document are excluded.
Verified by a constant lane differential the parse did not assume: all sixteen rows run BA +2,650, +3,700, +2,700, +2,550, +2,600, +2,300 across the seven columns.
