Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $60,040 a year, $5,003.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The Somers Faculty Association contract for 2021-2026 prints two facing sheets per year, a bachelor's block of nine columns and a master's block of ten. This joins the pair headed '2025-2026, Increase 0.4%' into one 23 step by 19 column grid.
Longevity is paid on top of the schedule at 15, 20 and 25 years of Somers service: $1,344, $1,833 and $2,260 in 2025-26.
- Soft spot: The contract expired 6/30/2026 and no 2026-27 schedule is published, so this is the newest year it prints.
