What you earn
The program pays you from day one, and your pay rises in steps until you reach the journey rate (the hourly pay of a fully qualified worker). BOLI lists the journey rate in dollars and each pay step as a percentage of the journey rate. The dollar amount for each pay step is calculated from the journey rate.
