Promotion Charts

These charts answer the question: Upon promotion, what pay step in the promoted grade will I get? 

One chart covers the portion of the pay  schedule that applies to employees hired before May 23, 2011.  The second chart covers the portion of the schedule that applies to employees hired after May 22, 2011. 

These charts are current, correct, and programmed into the USPS payroll systems.  The charts in the ELM and some other places are outdated and not in use. 

How to Use This Chart:

1. In the shaded 'From Grade' sections, find the grade and step from which the employee is being promoted.

2. In the shaded 'To Grade' section immediately below the section identified above, move down to the grade to which the employee is being promoted.

3. Move across to the right from the grade to which promoted, and down from the step from which promoted, and assign the intersecting step. Example, an employee is promoted from a grade 4, step H in schedule-2 to a grade 6 in schedule-2. Go to the section marked "From Grade 4" and move across to step H. Next go down to grade 6 in the light shaded section, and move across to until to come to the intersection at step H. Assign step H as the step to which promoted.
