What about overburdened routes, a second trip should t even be an option during peak should be ran automatically by anyone but me!

Since it's a rrecs violation then that's all we have to say, right? It's our paychecks on the line and I'm not going to "f" up my paycheck because of their stupid game.

I found my answer to the question I asked you.

We can't be mandated to do this 6-9 play then? If they use that term on us, then what?
It is supposed to be voluntary on the rural side. If for ed, file and immediately contact DR, regardless of local Steward. DR needs to know pronto.

Thank you! I haven't found any wording stating it's voluntary. On the contrary, the above step 4 only states that it isn't to be done due to RRECs. I have to get ready for a fight here. I have zero problem volunteering for things but I won't be made to start my day at 6am for something that I won't be getting paid for or getting credited for properly. RRECs, to me, is going to make it harder for management to bully us but I want to make sure I have the words to back me up. Thanks again!

You can do 2nd trips during official 3 week Christmas period which will starts 6 days from now this year but will not be paid per mileage on 2nd trip . At least that’s how it is in my office

If you work enough hours, it may be ok to do second trips. However, rrecs is based upon a single trip and multiple trips( especially pre parcel trips) really screw with the coverage factor. USPS wants to treat us as hourly but, rrecs data collection would be ruined if carriers take early trips. That is why the step 4 was filed. Keep note of your trips, time of day and whether you made a complete mail run first or not. You will need it for the remedy.

Yeah . I do know that . That’s one of the reason not fond of morning run . I prefer officially 2nd run at the end utilizing pmcasing

Exactly! Thing that ticks me off is they want us to come in and do those runs when it's still dark out...NOPE. They want us to do those runs with RRECs...double NOPE. They wanted us in early on Saturday and I went in at normal time. After filling my LLV up, I wouldn't have had a reason for a 2nd trip to begin with. That is something that WE should determine...not them.

Absolutely. I rejected the option of going early last year . As a result, during those 3 weeks , I left few big packages 2 days for 2nd trip as they wouldn’t fit . I knew I will not get 2nd trip pay mileage wise but I am on straight time anyway . And I wanted to get all the credit due as far as RRECS is concerned. So I finished my EOS , hit pmcasing , did loading and went out to deliver those 10/15 packages . On 2nd occasion I come back from route and they already had them delivered . Didn’t say anything, completed my work , went home happy assuming and praying that the sub was logged on to my route while delivering those packages

"went home happy assuming and praying that the sub was logged on my route while delivering those packages"
are you saying that all the packages, sprs,etc... "scanned in" by the clerks in the morning are not already awarded to my route? Each route should be counted as if one person is doing the entire route each day. I hope it is done this way. This is the real size of the route. If credit is not given to the route in its entirety everyday...then the data will not be an accurate reflection/value of the route.
Has anyone checked the data in the morning before you leave for the street and then the data from when you get back at the end of the day? Do the numbers add up and equal out. (management said 145 pkgs- end of day scans show I had 234 scans....would those be the same?

No , I am saying that even after clerks do their part , the sub delivering those packages should be logged on to my route for my route to get RRECS credit . That’s my understanding

You are supposed to be paid mileage for 2nd trips during this period, but you don't get paid the 3 minutes per mile because you are on straight time.
Our POOMs have a history of paying the mileage but not time prior to holiday period, and I'm too stupid to be able to read my own paycheck.
I'll be in that position just 2-3 times/year, so I'm probably getting the screw.

Outside of those 3 weeks , getting paid by mileage only is right . It is mileage multiplied by 3 now —- used to be multiplied by 2 + load time . Now load time goes to your RRECS data but you get paid by 3 times mileage only.As for 3 weeks period , all the times goes to your straight time ( mileage doesn’t count ) — but if you do the scans as 2nd run properly, you at least get RRECS credit for all the packages

Not with Gov vehicle, maybe with POV — that is understandable . I am strictly speaking gov owned vehicles
Verify every Friday or the last day you work that week. By that I mean on EoS have them make sure they input time, mileage, etc correctly. I do it every Friday can add 15 Minutes or more sometimes. not leaving a single penny on the table personally.

Its 3 minutes a mile, not 3 times the mileage. So what this means is if you have either 1 package or 100 packages that are within a mile from the post office you get paid 3 minutes at you step/table for that task, I think for me that about $1.80 compensation for that mile. And if that is 10 packages to the door, that a whopping 18 cents a package, what a deal!
The NRLCA negotiated the heck out of that deal!
I guess if you go 60 MPH and throw it out the window at the address you may break even.
