New policy not paying RCA's miles for Amazon Sundays

[SWwashington]

Apparently, the MPOO in my area is denying payment for e-travel miles for RCA's to drive to the hub office (>50 miles) on Amazon Sundays. The argument seems to be along the lines that, because we are assigned to the hub office on Sunday, that the reporting office becomes our home office for that day. This doesn't sound right at all. According to my postmaster, the union is fighting this, and I should submit my e-travel forms 1164-E to the postmaster, and they will put it in a folder for when this gets resolved to be compensated later. I've heard they are not compensating people for e-travel if the form is not properly submitted within 30 days.

Has anyone else heard of this? Should I be grieving this?

the elm designates your domicile office as the one reported on your form 50.
it's nonsense. I hope your rep requests 50% interest for loss of use of funds time.

I would also request the mpoo be required to attend a payroll class because they are definitely lacking required knowledge. a rep can ask for that.

Just because there is a grievance being fought for someone else on a same or similar issue does mean that you should not file your own unless it is a Class Action in your office.
If it’s a Class Action in your office, contact your Steward for guidance.
If the grievance is in a different office, file your own grievance. If there is a hold for interpretation, the Union will hold your grievance in Abeyance at Step 2 or higher until a resolution is reached.
