If you've just been made aware of this rule , it is not too late to file for the long days you worked asking for actual hours. When they claim you were "un-timely" explain how you just found out.
Most postmasters or supervisors have no idea how to do this on payroll.
never have I worked a first time route and didn't have to wait at least 2 extra pay periods for the actual hours pay. even writing it clearly with highlights on pay sheet. Most people don't know and or forget about it. Been at least 3 instances where I was never paid. I simply never go back to that office if asked again...and state why.

The above statement is an absolute fact. Most management members have NO idea how to do this on payroll, even if they know the carrier should get paid actual time.
