Investigative interview for Rrecs Scan

I greatly appreciate the documentation. Further, I did not sign anything or received a copy.so can the interview still held against me? If it can be, can I just deny it happened because I did not sign it?
If I were you, I'd likely be contacting my ADR or DR and discussing what has transpired thus far.... Those are the peeps that should be able to tell you, and if necessary, your PM, that scammer data should not be used as they're trying to use it.... :unsure: šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ§

You never sit in an interview without your lawyer or steward. You waive your rights to representation by volunteering to answer questions. Signing something or not signing has nothing to do with it.

If cops ever want to interview you, you say I want my lawyer regardless of what they say. Doesn't matter if you're innocent or guilty, never speak without representation.

When I'm questioned on scans, It's not combative or an I.I. it's simply a mistake. I believe the office threshold is 86%. Which means if you have a small office and one of you miss a scan, the office failed that day. Oh well, try hiring competent programmers over Kelly's who spread their legs for promotion and haven't a clue about programming.
 
Is management getting a bonus if their scan ratio is good?
My PM is literally "fixing" scans.
Shouldn't they have to leave things alone. I am skeptical that this "fixing" is helping the Carrier.
I had a day my sub did EOS on another route. I was then told to do EOS and clock out immediately. The 15 mins of EOS then was zero minutes for me and MAYBE the other route got my 15 mins added to their day. The scans were "fixed" so my PM wasnt on a list or so the office scan ratio wouldnt drop. If left alone, I assume my EOS for the day should have had an average inserted. Instead my rt was penalized with zero EOS.

I was called on the rt at least twice to input end loadveh or start loadveh because I was missing a beginning or end time. How do these "fixes" play out through Rrecs? Would an average been placed in the vacant spot?

How is management "fixing" your scans?
Called on rte? When will carriers learnšŸ˜žšŸ˜žšŸ˜žšŸ˜ž
 
Because the techs at the PS are the sorriest of the techs in the world. Techs worth anything would be working for a company that actually pays them well. There was a HUGE story about how a clerk got a bonus for their suggestion...... to link a customer's e3575 to the mover's guide publication. Story said it took a couple of months and team of programmers to make the link work........................... I think a 5 year old kid could get it to work in few hours .
Exactly...the ones who need a government hand out bc they can't make it in the private sector
 
this is now coming up in our office. Carriers are getting called in for investigative interviews because they selected Depart to Route, or Clock in, Start load time, more than once. These carriers swear they did not touch the scanner at some of these incidents. Or that it was completely an accidental touch where the scanner just beeped as they were picking it up or scrolling through.

When at the interview, are there any points or issues that the carrier should bring up? What should he/she say. I am sure they are going to try and make it the carriers fault. What is the best way for these carriers to approach this?

Why does the scanner ask me multiple times a day to confirm if I log off or not, but will not ask the same for any of the RRECS scans?

Why does clock in stay as an option after I have clocked in? Why doesn’t it grey out or disappear? Can you call someone in IT to make these adjustments?
 
Can we start a new topic named 'RRECS issues that should have been handled by USPS and/or Rural union BEFORE we started using the new RRECS scans'?
I see tons of these new topics now and I wonder if we should just toss them all together so others can just scroll down 1 thread. I'm sure there will be many, many more.

You know the USPS acts like we are suppose to be "PERFECT" with everything. Things happen I.E. the scanner hits our body and hits a button. Then we screw up and oh my god you are horrible person and what not. It's such a joke.

95% of mistakes can be fixed with 2 little things.

#1 The big 4 (Clockin, Depart, Return, Clockout) should immediately drop off as choice from menu.

#2 Start load lunch or deviation ONLY HAVE 1 CHOICE after you hit it. END.

#3 Move options around to where you can't screw up. Don't put TRIPS2DOOR next to Depart and so on (If you leave all options on there).

Supposedly the clockin scan will gray out after you use it. It’s ā€œin the pipelineā€œ.
I stopped using the bars in the menu. I’m either scanning the premade barcodes somebody on this website made, or using the bottom keypad. In other words, ESCAPE. Then, AT BOTTOM, USE THE KEYS. It works. And I wear gloves, too. If any static occurs or scanner goes hinkey, I jot the time down and inform management. For the few extra minutes a day to use the bottom ā€œbuttonsā€, I’m less stressed.
 
So have there been Investigative Interviews with Management with no safety/service talks entered for RRECs?
When all of the Rrecs stuff began, I heard repeatedly, if you don’t get the paid hour and a half training, report it to management. Still no training. Helloooooo, anybody out there? Maybe it was only for management and Iā€˜m guessing they got paid?
 
Js... If they are micro focused on actions by the carrier from scanner track.

Why aren't ODIS/POOM/ETC in provided ride to office issued a scammer?

When our DR found out that 60% of offices never gave, or at least never recorded, safety talks, he called his counterpart--the DM--and persuaded him to revoke all safety-related discipline issued in the offending offices. "If your managers aren't going to instruct the carriers on how to act in such and such a situation, then discipline for acting in such and such a way is unwarranted.".

The DM also agreed to a retroactive addition of 120 minutes of safety talks over the past six months. This is for every office in our district, regardless of whether the office recorded its talks or not. I know, I know, that's less than 5 minutes a week, but DR accepted the half a loaf being offered.

DR assured us (we learned this at the survey training last week) that DM was serious when he said supervision will not forget to do its job in the future. I took that as threat of discipline to managers.

This DM we have is bonkers crazy on safety. Probably because he wants to look good nationally. We have his safety screeds and his self-authored safety pledges hanging at time clocks, on vending machines, and even above the urinals--wherever he tells his minions to hang them--so I feel confident in saying that this dude would have been crazy angry when he saw the evidence his managers weren't doing their jobs.

When u see anything in your file sign and date it page by page so if anything is ever ā€œslipped in ā€œ it will be obvious this knowledge come from 25 years of teaching public school !!!
