yes I know, If I had done it all along, I tried it last night and I got tired all over again about Christmas.

The smart thing to do would be to calculate my retro check. In reality, if it seems roughly in the ballpark, close enough.

When I first looked at your equation I did not believe it was correct. After plugging in a few numbers it is indeed correct. It makes the work of figuring the regular hours and overtime hours trivial. The proportion: (Current rate divided by Total Pay) equals (Retro raise divided by Retro amount) is not intuitive to me, but it works. Euler would be proud!

Thanks to you, upschuck and brownslave for confirming the validity of the equation.
I will phrase the equation another way to make it seem more intuitively palatable...
UPSMAN made $60,000 in combined overtime and straight time pay since August 1 at a base rate of $32.29 per hour.
How much combined overtime and straight time pay would he have made at a base rate of $.70 per hour?
There is no need to do the tedious work of figuring out exact amount of straight time and overtime worked since this is already reflected in the total earnings and will be reflected in the back pay using a simple formula:
$32.29 = $.70
$60,000 = $1,301
or
Hourly straight rate ******** $.70 rate_________
Total wages since August 1 ***Retro check amount
or
plug in your numbers...
TOTAL INCOME AFTER AUGUST multiplied by .7 divided by straight time hourly wage = Retro check amount
Of course the formula would have to be modified if you were in progression, and would not work for pay gained from grievances, workers comp or disability pay.

Nope, the overtime (and double time for Holiday pay) is indeed already reflected in the equation because you enter your total pay (including overtime, double time, and straight time) since August 1.
TOTAL INCOME AFTER AUGUST multiplied by .7 divided by hourly wage = Retro check amount

Overtime hours are included in the equation since you are entering total income into the equation. There is no need go through the hassle of figuring out how many overtime hours you worked using this simple method. You can view your pay history back to August 1 on UPSers

That's because the raise for top-scalers is 70 cents. The raise for a second year driver is 1.25.

Suppose there were a difference between your calculation and the gross on your check? Would you grieve for the difference or write it off as an error on your part?

You still should have gotten your yearly progression raise. I don't believe you'll get the wage increases of the new contract while keeping three year progression.

Depends on how much it is. 20¢ no $20 yes, Not really sure where cut off is. I doubt you would have to grieve, though, just give them documentation, and they would pay. My management team would.

You're free to re-read the new contract if you wish...

Thanks for the reference.
If my personal spreadsheet (that I use to track my own hours) is correct, I'll be looking at a bonus check of ~$273.65 - before taxes - which means I may be able to afford a decent dinner out with the spouse after Uncle Sam takes his cut
