CCA pay increases
Effective June 14, 2025 (PP 14-2025), all city carrier assistants (CCAs) pay rate will be increased to reflect an additional $0.50 per hour. This increase is in addition to their cumulative general wage increases.
Pay table modifications
Also, effective June 14 (PP 14-2025), all city carriers currently in Step P in Tables 1 and 2 will receive a one-time pay increase to an amount that is equal to a flat dollar amount of $1,000. Carrier technicians will receive $1,021. These increases are in addition to the general wage increases and COLAs.
The Postal Service expects the eliminations of Table 2 Steps AA and A to be effective July 12, 2025 (PP 16-2025). In conjunction with the elimination of Steps AA and A, all city carriers in those steps will be advanced to Step B and begin a new 46-week waiting period to be completed before advancing to the next step.
Retroactive (back pay) provisions
USPS indicates that back-pay calculations are ongoing and expects payment in August 2025. The retroactive pay will include the Nov. 18, 2023, and Nov. 16, 2024, general wage increases (plus the 1 percent additional increases for CCAs on those dates) and the first four COLAs for career carriers.
