Worked example as rendered: Bachelor's (3A), step 0 = $57,906 a year, $4,825.50 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Lane headers pair a degree label with the district's internal scale code (3A, 1A, 7A, 8A).
A daily rate is published alongside each annual figure; only the annual figure is recorded here.
Berkeley County publishes a separate Lowcountry Virtual salary scale, which is not included here.
- Soft spot: The scale does not print the number of contract days, so work_days is left null. Dividing each annual figure by its published daily rate gives exactly 190 days, but the document never states it.
