Agreement term: 09/01/2021 - 08/31/2025.

The guide is printed inside the filed agreement as an image, so it was read off the page as rendered and every figure was then checked against that page.
The agreement labels this guide 2024-25. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
