The issue in this grievance is whether duties performed by certain employees at the St. Louis Post Office justify higher level pay. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no national interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. We agreed that Level 5 clerk craft employees who are utilized as on-the-job training instructors for new employees shall be compensated at the Level 6 rate for time actually spent on such job. Whether or not the employees in this case are being used as on-the-job training instructors can only be determined based on the facts involved. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing including arbitration if necessary.
