Call HR Services contact 1-877-477-3273 tell in North Carolina to see if they can get your separated. But the leave without pay is nothing to worry about as long as you turned in your resignation letter and you have proof such as a fax receipt etc. and if you had health benefits they are not still charging you for that. If so it could get real messy if they say they never got your letter they will send you a bill for all of that money. I would call my local HR office also if I were you.

Good Luck

To Hey ,

Hey , I called them 10 days ago and left a message but no one have call me back yet. :(

I am debating on if I should give you the managers number to personnel because this is a public board everyone and their mother might start bugging her.

Hey all,
I resigned about a year ago this month and have been trying to get reinstated. Anyone know how long it would take. I was a PTR but my mom got ill and thought the best thing at the time was to resign. I was a relatively new PTR. Needless to say, it's been about a year. I'm thinking about applying for casual until my reinstatement happens. Would this be a good idea in the meantime since everything takes so long with USPS processing?

When I was restated it took me 9 months because they had a hiring freeze.

I live in Kentucky and I am under the Lexington office. Can anyone tell me how long PTR's have to wait till they can transfer? Is it 18 months or can they transfer sooner?

Anyone trying to get reinstated ? I am aware of the current hiring freeze but i need to get back to work ASAP and was wondering if anyone here had some info. I resigned 8 months ago and am now trying to get back in the USPS....I was forced to take the exam over again and jump through all the hoops which i did and i am still left high and dry. Plus my old station is in desperate need for letter carriers....gotta love the USPS. Any info would help...i am just a carrier who needs to get back to work.

check the elm it states reinstatement less then 3 years one year
over three years unlimited time but if there is a hiring freeze you may have to wait it took me 5 years to be reinstated

they tried to make me take test to get reinstated i told them i was going to hire a lawyer i was in training shortly after that had to pass psm training been back over 10 years

i was recently charged with awol by my supervisor and mdo after i called the ul hotline and was granted the leave can they do this and what is the usps definition of awol.

chricwafer /m408 -- you have the verification number? If so, should be a slam dunk. AWOL is an acronym that pretty much defines itself.

Can someone tell me if ptfs have any rights. We have a steward that has his fav. regs. and helps them as much as possible. Are facility is small and he helps management as much as possible because he is on LTD for over 6yrs. Alot of the employees are over 56yrs and don't know much about the contract. WE were told that there is no senority amongs the few PTFs that we are. We are alot younger than the regs. WE ask other Stewards and they say he has always sided with management so they will leave him where he is doing nothing. The steward when we ask a question lies to us with his response. THen he will go tell the vice pres.and Pres. and lie about the question that was asked. WE just found out. Can someone help us with info.

What is your question, exactly?

If it is this: WE were told that there is no senority amongs the few PTFs that we are., that's correct in general.

What issue are you concerned about that you think seniority would have a bearing on? Who is assigned to work more or fewer hours, who can get leave approved, who is getting overtime, who is working the holiday, who is working on a particular route, or what?

Is this a message board for PTF's or PTR's? There is a BIG difference. I thought it was for Part Time REGULARS. The topic says PTRs but I see so many questions for PTFs. Can someone help?
