Take-home wages = regular hours at scale + hours over 40 at your chosen OT rate + per diem (×7 days). Benefits = the full package (H&W + pensions + NEBF) paid flat on every hour worked. Total package = both combined. Figures are estimates from published scale & package data (via unionpayscales.com); always confirm exact terms with the hall. Cost-of-living adjustment coming soon.
