RCA 6 Day Pay

I am the secondary sub for a 40K route. The primary sub was told this week that if she could run the route under 40 hours,(the regular is on vacation) for the complete week(Saturday thru Friday) she would be paid for 6 days evaluated time. She did it in 39 hours. Is this allowed? Is there a grievance here? And why do we have a matrix?
 
omj -- "The primary sub was told this week that if she could run the route under 40 hours,(the regular is on vacation) for the complete week(Saturday thru Friday) she would be paid for 6 days evaluated time. She did it in 39 hours. "

-- Unfortunately, she has given manglement her "demonstrated ability" of 39 hours on that route in 6 days. It will not matter later on if the route gets hammered by parcels, etc. All they will see is that the RCA did the route in 39 hours. So any other carrier should be able to do it in the same amount of time.

-- Sure, getting the evaluated pay is nice, but has set a bad precedence!

-- With the regular on leave, she is entitled to the route's evaluation.

-- The regular may be impressed, but certainly not happy.
 
Setting a bad precedence? Three J routes went to 40K after mail count. I can see all the RCAs wanting to try the 6 day gig. Even the RCAs on higher rated routes will try it. Can management deny them?
