Appendix C of the agreement prints a series of prorated salary schedules; this record reproduces the last of them, for 11/1/2023 to 6/30/2024 (a 1.020 factor), the last year of the contract.
The OT and BA columns stop at steps 12 and 5 respectively, and BA+30 at step 18; the cells below them are blank in the printed schedule.
- Soft spot: Read from the PDF text layer and checked cell by cell against the rendered page.
- Soft spot: The OT figure at step 6 ($61,550) is lower than the step-5 figure ($62,709); that is what the schedule prints.
