    2023-2026 National Agreement and implementation MOU released

    New overtime options


    • The provisions of Article 8, Section 5.A create new opportunities for  full-time letter carriers to volunteer for overtime. Under the previous  language, in effect through June 30, 2025, letter carriers could either  sign the Work Assignment List or the Overtime Desired List (ODL). If  they signed the ODL, they were volunteering to work overtime on both  their regularly scheduled and non-scheduled days. While they could  indicate their preference to work either 10 or 12 hours each day, they  were still available to work seven days a week. Beginning July 1,  full-time letter carriers will have more options.


    • As before, they can sign the Work Assignment List indicating their  availability to work up to 12 hours only on their own assignment on a  regularly scheduled day. The new language does not change the rules  regarding the Work Assignment List. Under the new contract, letter  carriers who wish to be on the ODL can now select to volunteer to work  up to 12 hours on their scheduled days only or they can volunteer to  work overtime up to eight hours only on their non-scheduled days. If  they desire to do both, they can do so by signing both ODLs. Letter  carriers who select to work up to 12 hours on their scheduled days only  are available to work up to the daily limitations on each of their  regularly scheduled days. On their non-scheduled days, they are treated  like other letter carriers who are not on the ODL. For letter carriers  who have selected to work overtime up to eight hours only on their  non-scheduled days, they can work only on their non-scheduled days up to  a maximum of eight hours. On their regularly scheduled days and beyond  eight hours on their non-scheduled days, they are the same as non-ODL  letter carriers. If a letter carrier chooses to sign both ODLs, they may  do so, and they are volunteering to work up to 12 hours per day on both  their scheduled and non-scheduled days. In essence, it is the same as  the ODL that has been in place for many years.  There is no longer an  option for letter carriers to indicate their preference to work up to 10  hours in a day.


    • As under previous contracts, letter carriers have the right to sign  the ODL or Work Assignment List in the two weeks before the beginning of  the calendar quarter. Once a letter carrier signed the list, they never  had to sign it again as long as they remained in the same installation  and did not remove their name from the list. Because of the changes to  the ODL, letter carriers who are on the list during the current quarter  must sign one or both of the new ODLs if they want to remain available  for overtime. The next quarter begins on July 1, so every full-time  letter carrier who wants to sign one of the ODLs should indicate their  preference during the two-week signup period. Letter carriers who  previously signed the Work Assignment List and wish to remain on that  list do not need to sign up again. 


    Automatic payment for hours worked in excess of daily and weekly limits


    • While the new language in Article 8, Section 5.G.3 will take effect  on July 1, the Postal Service may not have its payroll system updated to  compensate letter carriers who voluntarily agree to work in excess of  12 hours in a service day or 60 hours in a service week. As explained in  Article 8, Section 4.G, any letter carrier who works over these  limitations is automatically paid an additional 50 percent of their base  hourly straight-time rate. Until the pay systems are updated, the  parties have agreed to a process that requires management at the  district level to review the hours of every letter carrier and identify  the city letter carriers who have worked in excess of the daily and  weekly limitations during the previous pay period. Management must then  input the pay adjustments for those individuals into their Grievance  Arbitration Tracking System (GATS). Every pay period, the Postal Service  must provide documentation to the NALC at the headquarters level  detailing which employees worked over the limitations and how much each  letter carrier was compensated. Because the new language does not take  effect until July 1, any letter carrier who is required to work more  than 12 hours in a service day or 60 hours in a service week should  notify their shop steward so they can investigate and file a grievance  if necessary. After July 1, and until the Postal Service’s payroll  systems are ready to provide automatic payments, any disputes regarding  the proper payment for hours worked will be handled at the headquarters  level. Once the payroll system is updated, the additional compensation  will be paid automatically.
