UPS members will see the 70 cent contractual wage increase in their paychecks this week for all hours worked last week. We have also been informed that the retro checks will be issued on or about May 27th. The retro check will be a separate check from the usual paycheck and will not be taxed at a higher rate. Retro checks will be paid for all hours worked since August 1, 2013, including overtime hours.
Your members will receive their retro check in the same manner in which they receive their regular paycheck contrary to what was previously reported. If they are on direct deposit, the retro check will be directly deposited. If they usually receive a paper check, the retro check will also be a paper check.
