Ala. Code § 16-24-62: Rate of Pay.

The hourly rate of pay for each part-time teacher shall be determined by placement on the State Salary Schedule or, if greater, the local salary schedule, based upon experience and degree attained. Using a six and one-half hour work day and 182 days as the standard annual contract, the hourly rate for the appropriate step on the schedule shall be calculated and the result multiplied by the number of hours taught by the part-time teacher during the regular school day to determine the salary to which such teacher is entitled.
