Aux01 -- "Are the previous Agreements on here still in effect that we get credited for time to separate tubs of mail from pickups ?
-- Should be. Page 10 of the Mail Count Guide -- Pre-Count Conference Items for Discussion. #13 is Proper credit for collected mail: a. For more than 2 separations. Step 4 H7R-4B-C 29248.
"And are we only still required to separate in 2 locations , because we have about 9."
-- Page 28 of the Mail Count Guide: ( 20 ) Actual time to deposit collected mail in more than two separations. Same Step 4 reference.
-- Best thing to do NOW is to document those 9 separations you are currently doing.
-- If manglement mentions a reduction in separations at the office pre-count meeting, document it. Unfortunately that is the window of opportunity for changes in office operations. And if separations increase sometime after count, with documentation in hand, smile and file.
-- Be suspicious of any postal "coincidence".
-- At least in my old office, manglement gave us the choice of which 2 separations would be done for free and which would count for actual time. Normally a couple of flats and a NETFLIX DVD or two would be the "freebie separations" and the letters separated for actual time ( which might be a good time to check for stamps on the letters ). Most of us used a tub ( under the LLV tray platform ) for the collected mail. Don't be like some and just dump the tub!! Any seconds gained are vital to the health of your route evaluation and pay check.

Unfortunately mgmt has the right to set those 2 "freebies". CBU mail is brought in in a bucket by most routes so that is always one of the givens since it is a dump.
