Clerk Craft Reassignment Opportunities

The U.S. Postal Service and the American Postal Workers Union have agreed to provide expanded opportunities for clerk craft employees in installations in which there is clerk craft excessing outside of the installation (see installations listed below).
-- Full time clerks in those installations which have current impact on full time regular clerks will be able to log in to the eReassign system and apply for the residual full time vacancies posted.
-- Full time clerks may apply for posted vacancies within their entire district, and to those residual vacancies posted in installations within 100 miles of their present installation.
-- Posting will be open from the first day of each month until the twenty-first day of each month.
-- Full time clerks may make selections in eReassign by entering the position they wish and the preference order for that selection. A preference order must be included.
-- Midnight Central Time on the twenty-first day the system will lock in all selections. An employee may not withdraw or modify his or her selection after this time.
-- All selections will be made based on the clerk’s seniority and preference order.
-- The successful applicant will not be eligible to participate in the next 21-day posting based on the impact from the original installation.
-- The successful applicant must be currently qualified or will be required to qualify at the gaining installation on any special requirement (schemes, window training, bulk mail training, etc.)
-- The requirements must be successfully completed or the U.S. Postal Service will begin the appropriate process to separate the employee for failure to qualify.
-- The successful employee will be reassigned with his or her current clerk craft seniority and full time status.
-- No relocation benefits or retreat rights.
-- A residual vacancy will be posted one time only in the 21-day posting. There is no pending qualification or next senior bidder option in the posting.
For the September posting in eReassign, Offices/Bid Clusters currently impacted rendering APWU clerk craft employees eligible for this posting within the South Florida District include
Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Key West, Lake Worth, Miami, and South Florida P&DC.
PTF clerks from installations with PTF clerk impacts will apply as usual but receive the highest priority by the selecting official. Selections for PTF clerk reassignment opportunities will only be processed from Day 22 until the end of the month to allow for ranking of priority consideration in eReassign.
