ELM Revision: Equivalent Grades

Effective July 4, 2019, the Postal Service™ is revising Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM) Exhibit 418, Equivalent Grades, to:

n Consolidate Rate Schedule Code (RSC) E to grades 15–26.

n Add grade 18B.

n Consolidate RSC P, C, and K because they all share the same salary schedule.

n Remove RSC T because it is no longer in use.
