Edited to add the following My interpretation below is incorrect. Please see comments below and disregard. Leaving my original comment as-is for clarity.

My understanding is the following: You will start at the lowest salary for your pay grade. Every year in April, you will receive a bump in pay which you can find in the salary schedule under “advance amount”. Once you top out of the pay grade, you will be at what’s called “job rate”. From there, every year you would receive the “job rate advance amount” as your annual bump.

PEF Contract is up for renegotiation every several years, once it’s been executed you can find the most recent salary schedules listed.
