I hear CCA's and Clerks get a week off on their annual date of hire.
Does this apply to RCA's too?
Thanks. </blockquote>
No. It's PSEs & CCAs that this pertains to and their "week off" is unpaid leave as they are basically "rehired" for the next year. If an RCA were to switch to CCA or PSE, then they would be required to take a week of "leave" between positions.
Sounds like the old TRC position - Temporary Relief Carrier. You would be hired for 360 days, then have a 5-day "break" before being rehired for another 360-day term if they wanted to keep you. The rural side no longer has such a position.
