Dominick L Spadaro
National Vice-President
Area Seven


On Friday January 15, National President Bob Rapoza called for a special teleconference. The purpose was to discus Pay for Performance issues and share information about the task force established to assist NAPUS members with recourse submissions. It appears that many members may have received a core rating that is not a true reflection of their actual Fiscal Year contribution. Although Manager’s of Post Office Operations are restricted in how high they can rate their postmasters, it should be noted that this does not mean you do not have a right to submitting a recourse request.

For this reason President Bob, your National Office and your local Chapter of NAPUS have established a network to assist you with your submission. First there is a web-based training offered on the National Website. Secondly President Darlene has established a chapter network for a more personal aide for our members. As your National Vice-President, I will assist by fielding questions and concerns from your president for consolidation to the national task force. In addition we will collect and submit all requests for recourse to the National Office for potential pay consultation issues.

The most important issue is that only YOU can submit the request and it must be completed within forty-five days of the posting of your core rating. Ratings are to be revealed on February 5 2010 and that is when the clock starts for consideration.

We in the Carolinas will fare much better than most of our fellow postmasters due to the outstanding year-end rating that our Districts achieved due to your hard work and efforts. However this does not mean that your end of year rating will match the accomplishments and contributions you personally made. That is what needs to be documented and submitted for consideration if you expect to obtain a higher rating. Be specific in your narrative and include supporting documentation. Do not forget to state what you believe the rating “should” have been.

On a separate note, please allow me to stress the importance of documenting all submissions. I am especially speaking about time out of the office and travel vouchers. If you take personal leave or an alternate day off, submit a leave slip to your POOM. (Leaving the approved slip on your desk in case someone needs to know why you are not at the office.) For travel, use map quest for mileage submissions and ALWAYS provide an explanation in the comment section of your eTravel entry. This supports your entry and leaves little doubt as to its accuracy. While sharing information about eTravel, most of you have subordinates whose travel you approve. DO NOT just sign off on their entries. Anyone can make an honest mistake, but you are also liable for these entries once you approve them. Check and require each submission to consist of the same documentation that I suggested for your entries. This will prove to eliminate issues that none of use want to encounter.

On a more personal note, I would like to thank Immediate National Past President Dale for his many contributions. He has helped strengthen our organization beyond words.
On behalf of all members within Area Seven, I wish him all the best in his retirement.

And to our newly elected National President Bob Rapoza, I pledge all our support and wish him and First Lady Sharon a Healthy and Happy New Year.

Finally, I need to announce that I turn the magic Fifty-Five on January 29………….

Until next time, stay focused and have fun.

FERS Sick Leave Credit Becomes Law
It's official. Postal and federal employees who retire under the Federal Employees
Retirement System will receive credit for their unused sick leave when they retire.
The new benefit, along with several other civil service pay and retirement
provisions, was included in the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act that
President Obama signed into law on Thursday.

Editor's Note: The printer's machines were "having problems". I don't think they did justice
to the true photo taken by Lynn Wilson, photographer for the Postmaster's Gazette.

 

HR 22 PASSED! Thank you to everyone who called. Those who did not call, turn to the others and thank them. The issue now goes to the Senate.

INFORMATION YOU CAN USE

I happen to run into a former postal employee that has his own business. He comes from a postal family as his grandfather and father were both postal employees. He does shirts, hats, aprons, sweatshirts and all kinds of fun stuff. I thought you might want to advertise his website in your papers. I ordered an apron and a very cute pink hat with Mr Zip on it and the quality is very good. He also makes a donation from every transaction to the postal relief fund. How many vendors do that? Anyway, I thought you may want to share this with your state membership. His website is www.postalsportswear.com
