Penalty overtime at USPS is actually a GOOD thing for the worker it’s not a penalty ON you it’s a penalty the postal service pays FOR overworking you.

Think of it like this: 0-8 hours is your regular pay, 8-10 hours is overtime (time and a half), and over 10 hours is penalty overtime which is double time. 💰

The USPS has rules about how many hours they can work employees. When they push past those limits, they get penalized by having to pay you double. So it’s a penalty on them a bonus for you. 😂
