DeJoy announces pay raise for US Postal Service employees – By Molly Weisner (Federal Times) / Sept 23, 2022
All non-bargaining employees of the U.S. Postal Service will get a 3% salary raise on their paychecks, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced.
The salary increase will go into effect on Sept. 24, and employees should see the change reflected on their pay stubs beginning Oct. 14. The raises will apply regardless of current salary maximums for all Executive and Administrative Schedule and non-bargaining unit employees.
“Much has been accomplished this past year in the face of significant challenges — the continued impact of a global pandemic and record inflation,” said DeJoy in a statement. “Our management team consistently rises to overcome these and other challenges and perform at a high level.
The National Association of Postal Supervisors said in a statement that while it applauds the agency’s recognition of financial hardship imposed by high costs of living, additional pay relief for EAS personnel will be required to offset the nearly 9% inflation of the past year.
