Worked example as rendered: A.B., years of experience 0 = $48,885 a year, $4,073.75 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
West Virginia sets a state minimum salary by certification class and years of experience, and each county board adds its own supplement on top. The state publishes all 55 county schedules together each year.
The figures shown are the Total Salary column, which is state basic pay plus the state and county supplements added together, so it is what the county actually pays.
A county that adds no local supplement sits on the state figure; that is the county's real schedule, not a placeholder.
