AMETIVA526 -- "I am a sub in Georgia and am just past my 90 actual worked days. I am struggling with the lack of work/home balance this job has. I thought that I could be considered or allowed to bid on regular route after this point. I am now being told that it is one year. "
-- Sorry, but you will need to have one year of continuous service as an RCA to bid on a regular rural route.
-- What was your hiring date?
"our office is so overburdened and we do not have any PTF positions.'
-- How many RCAs for how many rural routes in the office?
-- How many K routes without subs?
-- There has to be a minimum of 2 K-routes without a sub to have a PTF position created, and the creation is at the discretion of manglement. Would help if the K route regulars without a sub have submitted the 120-Day notice to get one.
"My question is how do I get a PTF position to at least get the benefits I deserve for working more hours than any of our regulars?"
-- Check Article 30.2.A.3. of the contract.
-- To bid on a PTF position, one has to be posted and you will need to have one year of continuous service as an RCA.
"I work between 8-12 hours every day."
-- If or when you work over 12 hours in a day, be sure to inform your Assistant District Representative.
-- With a work schedule like that, you could very well be making more money than some regulars!
-- While the money may be nice - for a while, it can not replace family time.
-- Keep checking the local job market for something better.
