I’m glad that @Chickenlover was able to respond to the original question, I just don’t know that I agree that this is some big problem with RRECS. I know routes are different, districts are different, and the plants running mail are different, but I’m in a high volume, suburban office with Amazon, and since I started paying attention to this crap, I’ve seen WSS mail in my DPS exactly once (so far).
Understand that the problem with the previous evaluation system was that people were doing a lot of work that they weren’t being paid for, but also (from the USPS perspective, as “70%” of carriers beat evaluations) that a lot of people were being paid for work that they did not do (which is how the system was designed, and I’m not blaming or pointing fingers at smart, efficient carriers who did their best to get the most out of it).
In this example, the WSS is in the DPS, and we all understand that WSS is counted as part of the DPS and added to our route data for the day. Whether the WSS is for every box on the route or for 80% of the boxes, the carrier is being credited for every piece they deliver (We hope. Fingers crossed for good luck.)
Now the OP seems to be saying, this WSS shouldn’t be in my DPS because maybe it just covers 80% of the route, so I’m only getting 80% coverage. This WSS should be on the side, something I case, because even if it’s only for 80% of my route, I get 100% coverage when I enter LETTERSWSS in RRECS, and I want that 100%, even though I only did the work for 80%.
And I see @Worve ‘s point that sometimes the 20% comes trickling in over the next few days, so you really are delivering (eventually) to 100% of your boxes, but you never get that 100% coverage for a day.
But your route is still being credited for all those pieces of mail. You’re not being paid to stop at every box on your route because, you know, you didn’t stop at every box on your route. (And I know you would have, had the WSS come on the side, but it didn’t. It was in the DPS).
