Do regulars and RCA's go on green card time if the Amazon truck or any other truck is late and we have to wait for the clerks to throw packages? Yes/No, reference point if possible. Thanks? </blockquote>
Regular carriers cannot use the 'green cards'. Those are ONLY for subs. Waiting time is paid for Regs as '8127 time'. Be aware that ALL other work must be completed as fully as possible before "waiting time" comes into play.

So, do the regulars get paid extra for their 8127 time, or is it apart of their salary? And, what is all other work? I'm talking about when my jeep is packed with my flats and dps and all I'm waiting on is for th clerks to get done.

Orange -- "So, do the regulars get paid extra for their 8127 time, or is it apart of their salary? "
-- Payment via the 8127 is in addition to regular pay. It will be noted as such on the pay stub.
"And, what is all other work?"
-- From Step 4 ( W-9 ): In part -- The parties agree that when a rural carrier is required to wait for mail due to late arriving transportation, appropriate compensation will be provided. Waiting time will not be compensated until all rural carrier duties are completed, to the extent possible, including the casing of all available mail.
When a carrier is required to wait for only DPS letter mail or other mail that does not require casing, including, but not limited to, parcels or boxholders, has no other rural duties to perform, including the strapping out of all cased mail; and is prepared to depart the office to effect delivery, the carrier will be compensated for the time the carrier is required to wait.
Compensation in both instances would be in the form of auxiliary assistance equivalent to the waiting time, or by utilizing Form 8127 for regular carriers. Compensation for leave replacements would be made utilizing Form 1314-A, or by providing auxiliary assistance.
"I’m talking about when my jeep is packed with my flats and dps and all I’m waiting on is for th clerks to get done. "
-- That's it -- if the only thing left to do is drive out of the post office parking lot, the waiting time begins.
-- Sometimes if manglement notes a carrier waiting, they will ask if the Edit Book is up to date; same for case labels, or the checking of the yellow COA labels on the Pink Cards. Some have gone so far as to recommend the carrier dust out some of the empty slots in the case.
-- Others have discovered too many requests for 8127 payment have led to later start times.
-- Payment via the 8127 is in addition to regular pay. It will be noted as such on the pay stub.
