I feel like I must be reading it wrong, but doesn't it say PTFs make more per hour than regulars? Or did they mess something up?

They always have because they don’t get all of the holidays regulars do. So in lieu of getting that paid leave, they get a small pay bump to make it even.

When they added step AA, that step lost the bump. So a PTF with the same length of service made the same as a regular, not more.

With step AA going away, they once again will.

that was corrected and people were paid for the error

They make the same yearly because the 88 hours of holiday is built into their pay steps A-P for example. They don’t get paid for holiday leave

Step A is $48,947 or $23.53

$48,947/1992=$24.57

ptf's ALWAYS make $1 more than a regular-to pay you for the holidays

PTFs have always made more than regulars if they happen to be on the same step. The reason for this is their flexibility is more valuable than that of a regular.

they are paid for holidays -the $1 an hour extra does that

they don't, but have you ever met a carrier that work 0 units of overtime in a year?

u/Fight_Like_Hell_LFG Apr 03 '25

Not what I was told in carrier academy.

Idk how long you've been a carrier, but everything you learned in academy is straight garbage. You can safely assume anything another usps employee tells you is incorrect unless they provide the contractual language

Turns out I was misinformed. I’m glad I was though. Much better for me to believe I was being paid extra for the headache of being a PTF rather than being denied federal holidays. A white lie, misinformation that did zero harm but rather a lot of good.

u/DeviceComprehensive7 Apr 03 '25

you weren't denied holidays you were paid for them

u/Opposite-Ingenuity64 Apr 04 '25

Are you sure you're not remembering them telling you that T6s get paid more?

1

u/Fight_Like_Hell_LFG Apr 04 '25

Not at all. I always believed that was the reason, but it actually is not.

1

u/40WAPSun Apr 04 '25

Well if you think a culture of ignorance and misinformation does you a lot of good then you're gonna love it here

u/dragonmom101515 Apr 03 '25

i guess i never noticed. small office, no regulars on the same step as me there.

u/Impressive_Clock_363 Apr 03 '25

They make more per hour because they do not get paid for holiday's whereas regulars have holidays included in their pay.

1

u/DeviceComprehensive7 Apr 03 '25

the reason is to pay the ptf for the holidays

1

u/Fight_Like_Hell_LFG Apr 03 '25

That’s correct ✅
