Employees covered under the 2006–2010 United States Postal Service®–National Association of Letter Carriers (USPS-NALC) national agreement who are eligible to receive annual clothing allowances, as specified in Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM), section 932.1, are entitled to an annual uniform allowance increase effective on the employee’s allowance anniversary dates occurring on or after November 21, 2006, as follows:
Regular Uniform Program (ELM 932.11)
* In 2007, the retroactive increase for 2006 was applied for both first-year and other eligible employees in the NALC and added to the 2007 increase. The first-year employee received a $10 retroactive increase for 2006, and the other eligible employees received an $8 dollar retroactive increase.
The allowance amount is updated on the uniform allowance anniversary date.
