hockey94 -- "We might actually try to hire a PTF, I will believe it when I see it. Does a ptf job listing go out to the district or is listed on usps.com with RCA listings etc..."
-- With District's blessing, local manglement will create a PTF position.
-- RCA's in the office who have completed their probationary period ( 90-work days or 1 calendar year ) can bid for the PTF position.
- posted for 10 days
- awarded within 10 days
- awardee placed on the new assignment within 21 days
-- IF no successful bidder from the office ( could be noone is interested or messed up the e-bidding ), then the posting goes district-wide for 15 days.
-- Taking a PTF position is sort of like getting head of the line privileges to making regular. A recent thread demonstrated what can happen if more senior RCA's pass on the opportunity.
