Aux Leave Chart

[Happy Mail Lady]

Hi, I have a question about AUX leave. According to Aux carrier leave chart in knowledgebase Aux carrier leave chart, my pay statement shows, 11 50 ( there is a line between 11 and 50 ), it means that I have 11 days (if 1 day is 8 hours, then 88 hours) and 4 hours of leave?

I held down an AUX route for awhile and the time I accrued was based on the hours for the AUX route...it was a 4 hour evaluated route, so the AL "days" were 4 hour days, not 8. At least that's how it was explained to me. I still don't understand their ridiculous pay stubs.

Aux RCAs take leave in hours, not days. They earn 1 hour per 20 hours worked (On the Aux route) regardless of the evaluation.

They earn 1 hour per 20 hours worked


Actual hours worked or evaluated time?

Actual hours.

I never used AL while on the aux route so didn't remember specifics.... but yes that rings a bell.

So 11.5 hours is what she's got more than likely...oi.

Actual hours.

So, someone who has a 6 day 4.00 hr eval aux and completes it every day in 3 hrs is not even getting 1 hrs of annual per week.

They actually do it always in less than 2.5 hours per day...they think the route is close to getting full time....lol

 

[Happy Mail Lady]

Okay, I'm confusing more. So it's 11 hours and 30 minutes not 11 days and 4 hours?

 

[drakeME]

Unfortunately I think that's the case. I think my time switched from hours to days when I went from aux to PTF now that I think back.

Thank you!

Leave on an aux route is shown in days on your pay stub. One day in postal land equals 8 hours. When you use that leave, you use it in hours depending on how big your aux route is. If your route is 4 hours per day for instance, you would use up 0.5 of one day when you take annual leave. Your pay stub is showing 11 days and 4 hours. When you earn 4 more hours, it will show up as 12. Once you go regular, you take days off in units of 1 day instead of in hour increments. They do this because aux routes are under 8 hours long per day. Taking leave in 1-day increments would not be fair if your aux route is evaluated at 2 or 3 hours a day.

Thank you!!!! I thought so!!! Everybody told me a different thing and got me confused. Most people including management told me it's shown in hours, so I thought myself, my math may be way too off & I must be too crazy.....

Just take a day and see what happens. Getting a straight and correct answer is clearly not an easy thing.

Just a little side note to this conversation. As an RCA you take your leave in hrs. As a regular a day off is a full day. So use your odd hours before going regular or they will just hang out there, you can’t use half days as regular.

 

[ctrural2]

no, you can't use half-days as a regular, BUT as a regular at certain steps you are earning 1/2 or 3/4 of a day per pay period. So depending on when you become regular, you probably WILL have odd time hanging.

 

[oi veh.]

Um no.

Regulars earn 4, 6 or 8 hours annual per pay period.

Or 13, 20 or 26 days a year.

If an RCA in leave earning status, use your odd hours up until a nice round number to transfer with you.

works in an ideal world but depending on when you become Regular could still leave with a partial day hanging around. It also happens when HR determines we need a “catchup” Pay Period to even out Pay Period 1 to January.

 

[oi veh.]

Check. I've never noticed that...my odd that just hangs around is from my aux days and never changes. (nor can I get rid of it!)

 

[ctrural2]

I have .25 hanging from when I was in the 6 hr/paycheck period. No problem, I will just get paid along with the rest of my banked annual when I retire
