Tentative Date Announced For Retro-Active Back Pay & More

     The USPS has announced a tentative date for the retro-active back pay owed to employees under the 2024-2027 Contract.  The payment date has been set at April 10, 2026.  The APWU believes the back pay calculations can be completed sooner that April 10, 2026 and is pressing the USPS on this issue.

     The retro-active pay will caover all paid hours from Nov. 16, 2024 to Aug. 23, 2025.  We cannot tell you how much the back pay will since people's total paid hours may be different.  Someone who worked overtime will get more, while someone who used LWOP will get less.

      Dates set for other pay provisions:

  • Night Shift Differential Increase of 4.0% begins September 20, 2025
  •  Upgrade of Grade 3 to Grade 4 begins November 1, 20
  • Elimination of Step JJ for Grade 4 begins November 1, 2025
  • Elimination Step GG for PSEs converted to Career under the 24-Month MOU begins November 1, 2025
  • PSE new “steps” begins December 13, 2025.
  • Night Shift Differential Increase of 2.0% Pbegins September 19, 2026
  • Annual Leave Max Carryover Start of leaver year begins January 10, 2026
  • Annual Leave Exchange Start of leaver year begins January 10, 2026
  • New top step for Grades 4-7 of the post-2010 pay scales begins September 19, 2026
 

COLA Increases Add To Member's Paychecks

     The APWU recently reported that several of the retro active pay increases from the 2024-2027 contract are now in effect.

COLA Amount
February 2025 $ 395.00
August 2025 $ 811.00
TOTAL $ 1,206.00 / per year

     It is important to remind everyone that the APWU is the only Postal Union where all career employees get the full amount of the COLA.  The Carrier and Mailhandler Unions agreed to a "sliding scale" COLA where senior employees get the full amount and junior employees get less.
     This is not fair and APWU President Dminodstein fought for, and won, full COLA for all APWU represented career employees!
 

New Pay Rates Are In Effect / More Coming

     The APWU recently announced that several of the retro active pay increases from the 2024-2027 contract are now in effect.

  • The November 16, 2024 1.3% general wage increase (2.3% for PSEs), and

  • The February 2025 Cost-of-Living (COLA) Increase for all career employees

     are effective as of August 23, 2025.  These new rates will be reflected in paychecks dated September 12, 2025 (PP19). 

 

     The August 2025 COLA will take effect on September 06, 2025 and will appear in paychecks on September 26, 2025 (PP20).
