You can find out how much backpay you received by reviewing your earnings statement for Pay Period 18 of 2025, which will be paid on Aug. 29. To see your earnings statement, log onto the ePayroll system on LiteBlue. Remember to always type the website for LiteBlue in your browser and never rely on a search engine to find the site. Once you log into LiteBlue, click on ePayroll under Employee Apps and then click on Enter Application. From there, click “Sign In” and then click on the earnings statement for Pay Period 18.

After you open this statement, click on the “Adjustments” button to view all the adjustments for the back pay period. Due to the limitations of how much information can be listed in ePayroll, there is a maximum of 11 adjustments shown on the screen. You can view the adjustments by clicking on the number above your name. By default, adjustment #1 will be shown when you open the “Adjustments” option on the menu. Each adjustment explains how the back pay was calculated based on the number of work hours you received, including every hour at the straight-time, overtime, and penalty overtime rate, and any paid leave taken during that pay period.

Since ePayroll does not list enough adjustments to cover the entire back pay period, one adjustment will cover multiple pay periods which are not covered in one of the other adjustments. You can determine which pay periods were included in this adjustment by looking at the inclusive dates. The back pay period began in Pay Period 19 of 2023 and ended in Pay Period 9 of 2025, so the adjustments should cover this period as long as you were on the rolls during the entire timeframe. If you were hired after Pay Period 19 of 2023, and before Pay Period 9 of 2025, your adjustments should begin with your first pay period as an employee.

If you believe your back pay was not calculated properly, you should ask to speak to a shop steward and ask them to investigate. NALC fought hard to ensure that backpay was included in the 2023 National Agreement, and letter carriers deserve to be paid for their hard work.
