(Updated January 20, 2021) Canada Post and the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) have reached a settlement to resolve a long-standing pay equity dispute.

If you meet the following criteria, you may be eligible for a payment:

  • you are a current or former Canada Post employee or a retiree, and
  • you are or were represented by CPAA, and
  • you worked between September 1992 and March 1997.

If you are the legal representative* of a former Canada Post employee who was represented by CPAA and who is deceased, the estate may be eligible for a payment.

  • • CPAA pay equity payments are calculated based on an employee’s work history. Some applicants’ applicable work history was minimal and as such their payments are minimal.
  • • However, the Joint Pay Equity Committee decided that eligible applicants will receive at least a $10 payment, even if their work history meant they should receive less.
  • • A mailing was sent to eligible applicants the week of May 24, 2021. It contained each applicant’s work history for the period of September 1, 1992 to March 31, 1997, and a non-disclosure agreement.
  • • Applicants were asked to sign and return the non-disclosure agreement by June 4, 2021.
  • • Please be assured that forms received after June 4 will continue to be accepted and scheduled for a payment in 2021.
