NAPS/USPS Consultative Meeting Minutes – Sept. 12, 2013
- in News
Agenda
1. With the closure of Fiscal Year 2013 at the end of September, NAPS would like to know how the Postal Service intends to complete adjective ratings on EAS employees who have gone throughout the year without established goals.
NAPS recommends that evaluating managers continue to have the option to provide a Contributor rating for an all EAS employees.
USPS Response: USPS Vice President, Labor Relations has received NAPS’ proposal and will discuss proposal with USPS HQ Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO). USPS will provide NAPS with a response after CHRO has time to make his review.
2. We are receiving inquiries from the field about a failure in maintaining the Supervisor Differential Adjustment (SDA) between VMF EAS employees and their subordinate bargaining unit employees.
In the VMF’s there are Level 10 bargaining unit positions – VMF Lead Technician. The SDA is currently based on a Level 8 position. NAPS would like this matter to be reviewed to determine why the SDA is not based on a Level 10 position in facilities that have this higher level position?
