Steps advance annually on the employee's anniversary date (Article 23 ¶Q: 'an Employee will reach the next pay step by reaching their anniversary date'; ¶B.3 confirms one step per anniversary and bars regression or freezing). New hires may be placed above Step 1 at a 'Higher Rate Step' for prior experience (¶B). AMFA's ratification release cites a $65.85 top of scale; the base table tops at $62.23 (10/17/27) — the difference is premiums/adders, published separately, never blended into base.
Step progression “Anniversary-date step progression (Article 23 ¶Q, ¶B.3)” 1 yrs per anniversary date; the contract states the interval as 'anniversary date' rather than a printed number
