INTERPRETATION: Case No. A8-C-520
P-11 Handbook, Exhibit E-1 (p. 3):
"NOTE. "No casual or temporary period of employment with the postal service or any other government agency is creditable for leave purposes after January 1, 1977. However, it is creditable for retirement purposes." The union alleged Article X of the National Agreement had been violated because the grievant had the credit for his casual employment taken away in determining his leave computation category. Remedy requested such employment be credible toward leave.
Step 4 Interpretation, February 1, 1980:
"During our discussion we concluded that at issue in this grievance is the note contained at the end of Exhibit E-3 of the P-11 Handbook. "we have mutually agreed that this note is to be interpreted to mean that if an employee had a period of casual or temporary employment prior to January 1, 1977, this time prior to January 1, 1977, is creditable towards computation of the leave computation date which is utilized to determine whether an employee is to earn 4, 6 or 8 hours of annual leave a pay period. Time worked as a casual or temporary from January 1, 1977 or later is not credible towards the leave computation date." This document contains two Article 19 related issues; a contract interpretation document on page 1 and a USPS Position Letter on page 2.
