....else posted the babble in 4172 & 4174.

A supervisor named Mike in Sacramento told a few new LSM clerks that our pay for the first week of work would be withheld until seperation. 'Someone' other than me, had asked if that had happened. My check was not short during that time. Don't remember which forum, obviously not this one.

Someone asked... /m4174 -- actually you did, in /m4172 . You wanted us to assume you know something. Postalvet /m4171 gave you a reasonable answer. You got annoyed that we think a 25 year person didn't know how the pay period works. Well, Mr. 25 year person, you didn't know that they don't withhold the first week of pay. And, a 25 year person should know better than to rely on "I was told by the supe".

You know that I don't know that they don't withold the first week;That, we know.I know I never asked you to tell me what you know about what I know.

Someone asked... /m4172 -- you don't know that they don't withhold the first week of pay, so how are we supposed to know what you know?

So you mean that after 25years with the PO I hasn't learned that simple fact?

/m4170 you were never denied pay. the post office works on a pay period system. at the end of the pay period it takes a week to process your pay, you are then paid for all hours worked.

...a while back if anyone else had their 1st week of pay withheld until seperation from PO. I started in 85 and, yes, I was told by the supe that there will be no 1st paycheck. Pacific Region.

where can I find information about Postal Goal. For example, Delivery goal, AFSM100 productivity goal and ETC...

Look in the contract under time standards and you find that there is no certain number of letters you must case. Just a days work for a days pay. As long as you are working and not just sitting there stairing into space or running you mouth and not working or are in the bathroom for long periods of time, there is little they can contractually do to you.

If you want to be the utilized like a PTF then Guffy is the man. He use to believe in a UNIVERSAL CLERK, one that can be used anywhere to do anything.

I like Cliff and think he is compentent but I will need to see how his views are now as opposed to 5-6 years ago.

I think this list is correct. I MIGHT BE WRONG WITH A FEW XXXX

Schemes?Eagleamf you must be referring to something like a review clerk and they were done away with at our facility over a year ago.If someone did not have to qualify at a certain speed per minute then I do not see how they could be forced into throwing any standard number per minute.

Not in my P&DC, plenty of clerks are MIA for most of the night!

Is there a minimum of letters per minute that must be manually case by a clerk who is qualify on a particular scheme, if this is the case where can I find such standard.

Sounds to me like you asked the proper people and received the answer. They are probably more qualified to answer than the postal employees in this forum.
