Sleeve_meet_Heart is correct. This should be how things worked before you became pickoff.
According to the contract: “….Part-time employees still in progression on the effective date of this Master Agreement
August 1, 2008, shall receive the above contractual increases and will be paid no less than what they are entitled to in accordance with the wage schedules in Article 22, Section 5. blah, blah ,blah….”
So, he starts on 6/15/08, so pay = 8.50
[FONT="]06/15/2008 - 06/21/2008 [/FONT]
[FONT="]CURRENT PAY RATE 8.50[/FONT]
He obtains seniority 30 working days later on 7/27, and luckily the new contract (economic part) goes into effect that same week on 8/1/08 so he gets the 1st of the twice yearly split raise of 35 cents: 8.50 + .35 = $8.85
[FONT="]07/27/2008 - 08/02/2008 [/FONT]
[FONT="]CURRENT PAY RATE 8.85 [/FONT]
On 9/15 he has worked 90 days and under the new contract he gets 1$. Since the contract states “will be paid no less than what they are entitled to” he doesn’t get more that 1$, he just gets 65 cents to bring him up to 1$. So, 8.85 +.65 = 9.50
[FONT="]09/14/2008 - 09/20/2008 [/FONT]
[FONT="]CURRENT PAY RATE 9.50 [/FONT]
Yea vacation!

it’s the first week of Feb. He now gets the 2nd split raise of 35 cents. So, his pay should be 9.50 + .35 = 9.85. Notice he got .70 = 10.20. Someone goofed. They figured out their goof on the week of 6/7 and fixed it back to 9.85.
[FONT="]02/01/2009 - 02/07/2009 [/FONT]
[FONT="]CURRENT PAY RATE 10.20[/FONT]
His next raise is Aug 09 and he gets .35. This should correctly bring him back to 10.20.
[FONT="]06/07/2009 - 06/13/2009[/FONT]
[FONT="]CURRENT PAY RATE 9.85[/FONT]
[FONT="]If pickoff is considered skilled (don’t know), then you add a dollar per hour from that week on.[/FONT]
