USPS Position Letter: Article 19; Handbooks and Manuals (1976)

This USPS Step 4 Decision involved a request that Maintenance Craft employees be compensated for time spent traveling to OPTO, Norman, Oklahoma and other Postal Service training centers. A policy had been established to compensate Maintenance Craft employees, under certain circumstances, for travel time to PST&DI (Technical Center) and other Postal Service training centers. This policy was announced in Postal Bulletin No. 21065, dated December 18, 1975, and the Postal Service was currently preparing detailed instructions and accompanying payroll procedures to implement this policy. In view of the foregoing, the Postal Service considered this grievance settled.
