Base rates only — overtime, premiums and allowances are listed separately. Each pay point lists its rates at their own effective dates; a rate stays in force until that pay point's next dated rate, so an effective date with no rate of its own for a pay point carries the latest earlier one (which may predate the agreement's first listed effective date).",
