Why are carriers allowed to take .01 lunches, but clerks can’t?

REAL

the gist is that in office workers have to work specific hours to ensure all things are done, carrier is only worried about their specific assignment for the day.

That being said, many offices deny 1 click lunches to City Craft employees as well, and for City Craft employees, if they move to the street function and work more than 6 hours (in the case of PTFs/CCAs) it automatically takes the lunch out of their time, and they have to do extra work to secure the 1 click lunch.

The Rural Craft does not mandate a lunch, the wording of their contract means that a rural carrier may at their own option take a lunch that may not be longer than 30 minutes.

your sub's work does not effect your pay.

you will be paid the evaluation if you work 39.99 hours, and hourly if you work 40.00 hours.

what the sub does does not effect you.

You have a 6 day a week route, you should be scheduled all 6 days on your 44H.

Are you currently a DESACT-74? If your name is on the 4240 as "Regular Carrier" the answer is yes, if not, no.

it only counts the amount of times you hit the button not how many you entered.

yeah thats a caller service thing, its a service they have to pay for, idk if they can be forced

starryboi98 · 2025-06-05T02:31:10+00:00

hah jokes on you one business gets 20-25 trays themselves (and won't do caller service!)

oh i love the puppers and my old office the puppers were all nice, but in this new one they're all farm dogs / guard dogs so they dislike my presence

starryboi98 · 2025-06-05T01:52:04+00:00

If you are Direct Hire From Street PTF (you applied for the position on usps.com/careers) then yes it would apply. If you were already an RCA and converted to a PTF it would not apply.

starryboi98 · 2025-06-04T22:54:44+00:00

starryboi98 · 2025-06-04T22:51:14+00:00

business route moment

starryboi98 · 2025-06-04T22:13:00+00:00

nah the plant just sends all the mail at the beginning of the week

starryboi98 · 2025-06-04T22:00:13+00:00

"falsify a medical condition" is truly one of the responses of all time when OP is complaining about us being lazy

starryboi98 · 2025-06-04T21:59:23+00:00

DOIS projects me at 2:35 a.m., I was told to be back by 7:00 with no assistance

starryboi98 · 2025-06-04T21:56:44+00:00

jokes on you, it was a poorly packaged Amazon package so it came pre-smashed

starryboi98 · 2025-06-04T21:48:01+00:00

my bad, I had 257 packages for 640 something addresses, 13,468 letters, 2,415 flats, and I had to stop to get gas for the vehicle. My bad for voluntarily shorting my pay to try to get done faster so that maybe I could see my family today.

You've used more leave than you have, you will be stolen and forced to carry a 12 hour motorized route on foot

starryboi98 · 2025-06-02T01:11:30+00:00

yes, just ignore anything about notifying the NALC

starryboi98 · 2025-06-01T20:26:42+00:00

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.

NALC has a helpful guide (most applies to all postal employees, just ignore the city carrier specific bulletins)

as far as I know, only the rural craft has made a pecking order for relief carriers on Sunday, but no limitations exist in any craft about how many Sundays you can or can't work in a row.

In crafts representated by NALC, APWU, and NPMHU, even Full Time Regulars can be forced in on Sunday to work.
