I wonder how other offices do the holiday schedule.....when it is a carriers holiday and they are scheduled...do they post it with nothing beside the carriers name? or do they put hol/work.....what is proper? and is it manatory to post a holiday volunteer sign up sheet?

Kenworth /m51308 -- if not even a single stop is left from the way the route was before the adjustment it is abolished.

checkchick /m51309 -- it is not mandatory to post a volunteer sign-up sheet. There is no requirement to put anything next to the carrier's name. Why would whatever you think should be there be necessary?

a carrier calls me this moring crying. she said she called the 800# becuause of the snow. the supe calles her and tells her she's only getiing 2hrs of pay and an UA. i think her told her to get her but to work. she shows up about an hour later. her nad a few veterans are complaing to me. they are saying he can't do that. i was like he did and it worked. she lives an hour away and showed up an hour after he talked to her. who's the idiot?

/m51311 I was curious how other offices do it because it depends on who our supervisor is for the month....some do it one way some do it another...I just wondered if there was a specific rule on it...The best way I seen it done was a schedule that showed it was a carriers holiday and he was working...ex. Hol/work...also with a holiday volunteer sign up sheet, it gives no question as to who volunteered..it makes it easier to know if the pecking order was followed.

checkchick /m51313 Management at my station posted a roster by routes at the time clock. Those regulars who are NS or Holiday will be shaded or high lighted and either “IN” next to it or someone’s name will be covering that route.

checkchick /m51313 -- I agree with the holiday sign-up sheet. We have one as required by our LMU.

yes, the carrier is a rehab who reached mmi about 15 years ago. he used to carry the small aux that was eliminated in the prior miarap. with the old aux gone and the new aux 5hrs of walking, he stated he would now be able to carry an 8hr combination route (walking/mounted). (i believe all this occurred when nrp was knocking on the door.) he was then permitted to bid during the ensuing round robin. ( ? he had not been allowed to bid since mmi was reached because his restrictions were 2hrs total of walking & mounted combined ?) initially, he used about 20 min above the street base, but now i think he's asking for 40 min additional street time. during analysis, i believe deat took a close look at the t-6's street time because the regular carrier had street assistance on a daily basis, distorting the average. i know he protested the evaluated time...

I heard a very strange story today from a friend of mine whose a rural carrier in a small town...for the last couple of saturdays, one of the city carriers brought her 17 year old son into work with her....he sat at her case while she worked....(something about him just getting out of jail and she couldn't leave him alone) the real strange part of this story is that he went on the route with her in the LLV....and sat in the truck while she delivered....this was on a Saturday and there are no bosses. I told my friend that this carrier could be fired if she was caught....My friend was real concerned about this unstable teen being in the office around the employees.....The OIC, who is an unqualified clerk, has been filling in for the PM, was aware of this but said nothing....The PM just returned today and he is not aware that this happened....A customer actually witness this kid in the LLV and called the OIC....I'm sure its just a matter of time and this is all going to blow up...I told my friend that not only the carrier would be in trouble but also the OIC for being aware of this and doing nothing....I also told her if she was concerned for her saftey because of this kid...maybe she should say something to the returning PM...but she hesitates to tell on anyone....

Can management move the carrier case and relocated out of sequence (routes)? The carrier case used to be away by the corner. Now it is 4 feet from the supervisor desk. One person argued with me that it is past practice, EEO, and out of sequence with the routes numbers. I said, “This is their post office. They can do whatever they want.” Any thought? I remembered Emperor-ess moved Wiz’s case to the corner and away from the supervisor desk.

/m51317 WOW I can't believe any grown adult would think of bringing their child to work without first getting consent of the Boss. In this business that should never be allowed.

Ha it does remind me of when i first started and was working a route in "regular clothes" i was stopped and asked by a customer on the route i was doing if i was her "son that couldn't get in college" She has been on the route since 82 so they have known her and family as they grew up. It was kinda funny. the customer actually thought i was helping my "mom" out and doing part of her route.

Got a question. We currently have an open t-6 swing. I know the PTF's can hold down the route according to seniority and that is has to be a detail from management since it is higher level route. My question is, our senior PTF had surgery and won't be back till March. What are the rules on this and where can I find them. I did find info in the JCAM on page 13-9, but I think that is refering to regular carriers and not PTF's. Thanks.

etour.. we rarely build a route to a rehab status time. before people start screaming on this forum, let me explain. if we were to evaluate a route to the high rehab time and it in turn, caused an office to go through territory adjustments, those adjustments might well trigger a round robin. now, the round robin takes place and the route we gave an elevated (higher) evaluation time to gets bid by another carrier because the route was built to a rehab carrier's performance. the original carrier we tried to help does no good because he didn't end up with his original route anyway. the rehab carrier may not like it but his recourse would be to call for a special inspection. i did look and remember he did not qualify at this time but i believe he could prove enough time for a special inspection in the future.

new steward.....any cc grade 1 carrier can bid the higher level assignment while the senior ptf is away. the ptf's can put in for the assignment until the senior ptf returns.

true zeus......no cc grade 1 carrier wanted the route so now the PTF's are scrambling to bid (hold) the route. My question is, since the senior PTF is out until March, does he get the hold even though he is not here, or does it go to next PTF in line, if so, where is the language on this. Thanks.

new steward........jcam article 25.4 states the higher level goes to the senior qualified, eligible and available employee so i think your senior ptf would not be entitled to the higher level assignment.
