Using this platform, individuals are able to easily access their bi-weekly earnings statements, view them online and/or print them out, with this access being available on a 24/7 basis.

In addition to accessing recent earnings statements or payslips, the platform also builds up a history of previous statements.

USPS LiteBlue Payroll Login.

The best way to log in to your LiteBlue account and access the ePayroll service is to head over to the main ePayroll portal, which can be found at: https://liteblue.usps.gov/wps/myportal/ePayroll/

You will need to know your Employee Identification Number, which is an eight-digit number. If you do not know your Employee ID or if you have forgotten it, you will find it printed on your earnings statements. You will also need your USPS self-service password, which is used for LiteBlue, PostalEASE and a range of other USPS services.

To sign in, all you need to do is enter these login credentials in the fields provided and then click on the ‘Log On’ button.

If you have forgotten your password, or if you have not yet set one up, you can do so by clicking the link provided, or by going to: https://liteblue.usps.gov/lite-blue/ssp.htm

Type your login credentials carefully to avoid running into USPS Liteblue Payroll login problems. Your Employee ID should be all numbers and entered without spaces, and your self-service password is case sensitive. For this reason, you should check to make sure CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK functions are both set to ‘OFF’ on your keyboard.

How to View Your USPS Earnings Statement.

Once you have gained access to your account and the USPS LiteBlue ePayroll service itself, you should be presented with a list of available earnings statements from your time at USPS. You should be able to see the last 40 pay statements sent to you, which covers 40 payment cycles. Each statement is sorted according to the relevant pay date.

To view any of the individual statements, simply click on the pay date for that statement and it will open in a new browser window. The earnings statement itself will include a button near the top labelled ‘Print This Page’ and this will provide you with the ability to print your statement out.

From the main list of your available earnings statements, you can also adjust whether or not you receive a paper copy of your statements in the mail. Your current setting will be displayed above the main table and there will be a button labelled ‘Change’ beside this. Simply click on this button to go paperless, or vice versa.

Additional Pay and Deductions.

On your earnings statement, on the right-hand side, you should see a section titled ‘Additional Pay / Other Compensation’ and this will detail any premium pay, allowances or other compensation included within that pay cycle. Examples of this would include locality pay and equipment maintenance allowance.

Underneath the ‘Additional Pay’ section on your earnings statement, you should also see another section labelled ‘Deductions’. This will outline any money that has been deducted from your final pay during that pay cycle. Examples of this would include taxes, health care payments, social security and optional insurance.

Both your additional pay and deductions will be broken down into the individual additions and deductions that have been made, while ‘Total Additional Pay’ and ‘Total Deductions’ figures are also provided for the pay period.

Viewing your USPS Liteblue Payslip Statements.
