Higher Level Assignment

Cliff Clavin · Jan 10, 2018

We have a guy that is a RCA and acting 204b. Wouldn't that be considered a higher level assignment? I thought that you had to be a career employee (Regular, Clerk, Custodian, City Carrier etc.) to do that.

Cliff Clavin -- "We have a guy that is a RCA and acting 204b. Wouldn’t that be considered a higher level assignment?"

-- Most certainly.

-- You have a couple of choices:

a. Grieve it while handing that reference to the PM / Supervisor, or

b. Inform your Assistant District Representative and let the ADR had the PM / Supervisor numerous references.

Hopefully manglement will chose to ignore it so a Step 4 would be forth coming with a "cease and desist" clause as well as "monetary penalty for future offenses".

So an RCA cannot be higher level, can a PTF?

Can they be counters for the upcoming count?

Can they do the street observation for the route?

They are full time employees..sorta...

Nope.

Only regular carriers may be detailed to a higher level assignment.

Call your ADR/DR immediately and report. They can't stop violations if they don't know about them.

Was just all rumor mill, was curious as there were several PTF that wanted to do this as a learning experience.

My PO is not letting either RCA or PTF do higher level, just to be clear....

Thanks Oi Veh!!

PTF = Part Time Flexible... not Full Time... <img title="Confused" alt="Confused" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif" />

But, they are "career" employees... so that might qualify as "sorta"... <img title="Wink" alt="Wink" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-wink.gif" />
