USPostalemployeeNewman,( I think I'll just call you Newman from now on) You should be able to grieve the fact that you are scheduled 6 days (all week) and then are required to work on Sundays also, because you most likely are working for next to nothing or even less because of that Sunday work.
If you're on a 46-K all week and the hours you actually work would have been under 40, therefore being paid all 46 hours, but your manager had you work Sunday for 3 hours, that would have placed you at 40 hours straight time 3 hours overtime instead of 40 hours straight time and 6 overtime. In this situation you would have worked on Sunday for 3 hours and because of that "work" lost 3 hours of overtime pay, basically working for less than free on Sunday. That is reason Sunday work can't be required when an Rca is scheduled for the entire week. Some managers get around this by "not scheduling" the RCA , but having nobody else scheduled either, and "calling them in" to work day by day ending up being the entire week, this also is not allowed for the same reason. If the RCA doesn't want the work, they can work the "city carrier" (very slow) speed and make it not worth the managers efforts to have worked them the extra day because of all of the overtime paid out. By the way when an RCA is scheduled, as primary sub to the route, they are entitled to work up to the evaluation of their route excluding the Sunday hours they were required to work, because they weren't supposed to have worked Sunday anyway. You are basically being used to save the USPS $ first by not getting the overtime you deserve and second by not having another RCA work more or longer on Sunday because you were there working for less than free. </blockquote>
If I recall... if a sub stays under 40 actual work hours, they are entitled to the evaluation hours which are at straight time. Once they hit the 40-hour threshold, the "over 40" is paid as OT.
