The Union has developed a form (attached) for you to record the amount of clerk craft work that the Postmaster/OIC, Supervisor, PMR, or members of other crafts are performing in violation of YOUR contract. Also attached is a sample form for reference. This form was originally developed due to clerks being excessed out of their office (see original cover letter).

There has been a substantial increase in requests for medical documentation for call-in absences by those not on restricted sick leave in an attempt to intimidate and coerce employees into not using sick leave. Our position is that the ERMS system does not allow a supervisor to place an employee in a “deems desirable” status, thus creating an automatic “blanket policy” of requiring documentation regardless of circumstances which is a violation of the ELM 513.3 provision and a 1982 Step 4 settlement prohibiting blanket orders for documentation. Employees should follow the instructions to seek medical treatment and grievances should be filed (based on individual circumstances) seeking reimbursement for the time (travel to and from including waiting and treatment time), mileage, and all expenses including co-pay and any other related tests such as x-rays, etc. See the attached arbitration award on this issue for guidance.

In this time of too little help, the Service has resorted to deception in many offices by utilizing RCAs to perform clerk work claiming they have “dual” appointment. You should challenge any RCA performing clerk craft work by requesting copies of their Form 50s and the casual hiring worksheet related to their alleged “hiring” as a casual.
