PSE PAY INCREASE UPDATE!!

     Word was received late Friday night that the Postal Service has identified the issue that prevented the PSEs from receiving the additional 50 cents per hour pay on June 4, 2022. Unfortunately, they are going to have to do additional programming to complete and make sure the 50 cents is implemented.

The Postal Service has told us that the 50 cents will be implemented at the beginning of pay period 17 (begins July 30, 2022) and will appear on the paychecks/direct deposits for August 19, 2022. The period from June 4, 2022 through July 29, 2022 will be paid in when the retroactive payments are made.

To once again restate—the date for the retroactive payments (some people are calling it contract backpay) has not been established. We are pushing the Postal Service to provide that date and to make it as soon as possible.
