Starting pay is $19 per hour, $39,520 per year, for part time
flexible mail carriers. Mail handlers start at $13.92 per hour, $28,953
per year, and clerks start at $18.26 per hour, $37,980 per year. Mail handler
workers are initially hired under the Postal Service’s part time flexible pay
scale and work 40 or more hours per week. The average pay and benefits for
career bargaining unit employees was $63,771 per year, excluding corporate-wide
expenses, in 2007. The largest pay system in the Postal Service is predominantly
for bargaining unit employees. There are also Executive and Administrative
Schedules for non- bargaining unit members, with pay ranging from $20,875 up to
an authorized maximum of $108,166.
The Postal service has multiple pay systems, most affiliated with a specific
union. Three pay scales for the National Postal Mail Handlers Union and
Administrative Management pay scales are included here. There are also pay
scales for the following groups:
2008 USPS PAY TABLES
The third of ten guaranteed cost-of-living adjustments to be paid to
all mail handlers under the 2008 National Agreement has been set at $479, based
on changes in the National Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) for the period running from July 2007 through January
2008. This COLA is being added to wages effective March 15, 2008, and will
be reflected in paychecks on April 4, 2008 (P07-2008). The COLA of $479
represents an increase of 23 cents per hour.
Printed below are the resulting wages to be paid to mail handlers through
September 2008, when another cost-of-living adjustment will be added to base
wages. All mail handlers also will receive an additional general wage
increase in November of this year.
