The grievance concerns whether the grievant's career appointment as a PTF distribution clerk on July 26, 1982, can be voided approximately three months later due to alleged administrative error. According to the information in the file, the grievant was given an appointment as a distribution clerk (41) on July 26, 1982. This was in addition to former appointments as substitute rural carrier (73) and auxiliary rural assistant (78), which were still in effect. Part 323.612, ELM, forewarns postmasters that dual appointments must be cost effective and that the advantages of such appointments should justify any additional expense for fringe benefits (or any other contractual benefit that a career employee may accrue). The circumstances of the alleged administrative error in this case are not sufficient to negate the career appointment date. The grievant's career appointment date for distribution clerk shall be July 26, 1982.
