USPS: 2024 Pay Dates and Leave Year
The following chart lists the 2024 pay periods. For the convenience of timekeepers, each biweekly pay period appears as two separate weeks with the beginning and ending dates indicated for each week.

The leave year always begins the first day of the first full pay period in the calendar year. The 2024 leave year begins January 13, 2024 (Pay Period 03-2024), extends for 26 full pay periods, and ends January 10, 2025 (Pay Period 02-2025).

*If a holiday falls on a Saturday, for most USPS employees, the preceding Friday will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes. If a holiday falls on a Sunday, for most USPS employees, the following Monday will be treated as a holiday for pay and leave purposes.
