Second Payment of $15 Million Settlement for Part-time Regular Workers Announced

The second payment of the Part-time Regular (PTR) settlement is now being processed.

APWU set aside $750,000 to cover anyone missed during the first payments. The second and final payments have now started processing. The payment was calculated using the same criteria as the first payment.

The payment amounts will range from $965 to $50. Please note that some employees will not qualify for a second payment due to their individual situation.

Fifty Full-time Regular Promotions

The criteria established for Part-Time Regulars (PTRs) to be converted to a full-time position are as follows:

1. A current PTR who has been working 28 to 30 hours per week consistently.

 A PTR will be converted in place (same office, same daysoff, expanded hours). Employees can request to be converted to a Full-time Custodian or as a Building Maintenance Custodian, PS 5, subject to successful completion of the Bulk Mail Center (BMC) test.

The USPS and APWU jointly selected 50 employees nationwide for promotion. Each employee at the selected location will receive a letter from the USPS offering them the option to become a full-time employee. Employees will have the right to decline to be converted to a Full-time Regular (FTR), the decline must be in writing. We will select from another location if we do not receive a total of 50 PTRs seeking conversion to FTR.
