MOU Promotion Pay Anomaly

In recognition of the need to correct the promotion pay anomaly contained in the current salary schedule, the Postal Service and the National Postal Mail Handlers Union, A Division of the Laborers’ International Union of North America, AFL-CIO, agree to meet and to continue their discussions with respect to this matter with the ultimate goal of correcting the promotion pay anomaly by creating a new salary schedule and related administrative rules as soon as practicable.

The new salary schedule will contain the following features:

• Uniform waiting periods by grade resulting in a shorter cumulative period to reach the top of a grade as compared to the current salary schedule.
• Uniform step increase amounts by grade.

In recognition of the administrative burdens in processing employee pay changes (promotions, higher level pay, repromotions, change to lower level, etc.) to the extent practical, the parties agree that the Postal Service will implement new and simplified administrative rules to be set forth in the Employee and Labor Relations Manual as soon as practicable.
