Worked example as rendered: ANNUAL_187, step (years of experience) 00 (0 yrs) = $54,250.00 a year, $4,520.83 a month spread over 12 months, $290.11 per work day on a 187-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The schedule is keyed by a step number 00 through 48 with the matching years of experience printed beside it; both are carried in the step label here because step 00 and step 01 are both zero years of experience.
The scale's index key is CERT/TCH/<step>. Teachers, nurses and librarians are paid for 8 hours per day but scheduled to work 7 hours plus 30 minutes for lunch.
The document also prints an hourly and a daily rate for each step, which are not reproduced here.
Step 00 carries only the 187-day annual figure.
- Soft spot: The final row of the ANNUAL_196 column is printed in the source as '$82.030.72', with periods where the thousands separator should be; that one cell is left null rather than guessed.
