This USPS Step 4 Denial outlines Management's position on whether the overtime assignment of a 204-B violated the terms of the National Agreement. It was the Union's position that the employee served in a 204-B capacity during his regular tour, and therefore, he was improperly scheduled for two hours overtime in the bargaining unit at the end of his regular tour. The Postal Service concluded that Management had agreed locally that craft employees detailed to 204-B supervisory positions will normally remain in a 204-B capacity for their tour of duty. They further concluded that there were no contractual provisions which would warrant granting the financial relief requested, as the employee was not in a 204-B status at the time he performed duties in the bargaining unit.
