Pay table changes implemented July 12; back pay still on track for Aug. 29 paycheck
Pay table modifications
The Postal Service has informed NALC that the eliminations of Table 2 Steps AA and A were completed and put into effect on July 12, 2025 (PP 16-2025). In conjunction with the elimination of Steps AA and A, all city carriers in those steps were advanced to Step B and began a new 46-week waiting period to be completed before advancing to the next step.
Retroactive (back pay) provisions
USPS has also confirmed that back-pay calculations are still ongoing, and payments are expected to be seen in the Aug. 29 paycheck. The retroactive pay will include Nov. 18, 2023, and Nov. 16, 2024, general wage increases (plus the 1 percent additional increases for city carrier assistants on those dates) and the first four cost-of-living adjustments for career carriers.
