Spent-
Missed your reply before deletion. I've been following your circumstances, and am curious about the latest.

Spent-
Did your removal letter give the reason(s) for your removal? If so, how specific were they?

Sure, will do.

MMret, I received a letter to remove me from the Postal Service 30 days from receiving this letter. Can you email me? I am going to scan it and fax it to you if it's ok? prwf406@yahoo.com

Spent, I don't think you're misunderstanding the article you referenced. The PM whose office is reduced in grade and becomes FLSA non-exempt maintains her/his current salary indefinitely, until the position is voluntarily attrited, i.e., the current PM retires or is promoted. The new PM will then be paid at the new rate. So while, yes, this will create more FLSA non-exempt PMs, in the future it will also create lower paid PMs, and that's the USPSs bottom line. This move will save the Postal Service money in the long run.

Am I misunderstanding this? http://www.postmasters.org/news/latest/flsarev1.pdf

POOM, whom is no longer the POOM (whom was the 2cd POOM in this 'investigation') called my home this afternoon and asked me to return her call. She and I had words over the keys she demanded me to return...so I emailed my League Rep and asked her to contact her to see what it is she wants.

Can't wait for my "discipline"....I did nothing intentionally wrong.

There is no "option" to be nonexempt. You either supervise 2 or more full time career employees or you don't

Do they have the option to go Non-Exempt? My PM is already, luckily. This will become trend don't you think?

Interesting about the FY! Thanks!

The end of the FY is September 30, 2009. IIRC, each District Labor Dept. is supposed to clean up all issues by the end of each FY. There must be extenuating circumstances to keep them "on the books" past that time.

Your PM may have to continue to work Saturdays for the foreseeable future due to the current economic climate of the PO. All of my mgmt. friends remaining in the office I worked at are working a minimum of 10 hours a day Monday through Friday, and at least 4 hours on Saturdays. Some are working even longer hours, but none are working less.

MMret

Thanks again. I don't know what I'd do without you sometimes!

When is the end of the FY?

I hope the GAO is riding the OIG! They deserve it. They should've had thier facts in order BEFORE pulling me in for interogation! They had been investigating me since July, and pulled me in for interrogation in Feb 2009 BECAUSE THE POST OFFICE I WAS OIC'ING IN AT THAT TIME, I HAD SOLD A M O FOR $600 AND IT WASN'T IN THE "CASH" DEPOSIT!!!!! SO THE OIG ASSUMED I STOLE IT! I LAUGHED AT HIM AND TOLD HIM IT WAS PAID FOR BY "DEBIT CARD" AND I WAS SORRY TO DISAPPOINT HIM. He did not even know that???????????

He himself said I was not properly trained, but he was STILL going to have me served with a LOD, (in front of my POOM)....and my POOM said something along the lines, "not yet, and can I speak to you outside". I never received a letter of demand or discipline or prosecution I was threatened with....and that's probably ONLY BECAUSE I CONTACTED THE GAO! I believe the Postal Service would've tried to intimidate me into anything, IF they could have!

PS. My PM was working SAT AGAIN today. She has been working 6 days a week since I started my later OIC in Nov 2008!

You're welcome, Spent.

Based on your statement to the GAO, The GAO and/or OIG could be putting pressure on District Labor to take some action and close your case by the end of this FY, which should be a District Labor mandate, if possible.

As a PMR you cannot file a grievance. An experienced union steward would never file a grievance against an individual, only that the individuals' actions or acts violated the aggrieved employees' rights, the CBA, and/or Postal regulations.
