NAPUS: 10.09.14 – USPS Organizational Effectiveness has advised that the Postal Service is moving forward with postings concerning all vacant PTPO 6-hour offices from October 14th through October 29th. The limited area of consideration will remain impacted Postmasters whose offices are evaluated as 2 or 4-hour offices.

The Postal Service will not be posting the PTPOs that have incumbents because those incumbents have the opportunity to take the 6-hour assignment during the RIF process.

Area and District HR has been provided with materials outlining the eCareer application procedure. This is to assist further those impacted Postmasters who wish to apply.

Initial results of the Postmaster Career Discussions show that many Postmasters are expressing interest in other positions, but eCareer application data show that many have not applied. The Postal Service has made the application material referenced immediately above available in order to help those who might need such help in order to apply correctly in eCareer. Further, Field Human resources are being encouraged to ensure guidance is available to impacted Postmaster who seek help in this process.

As of October 14th, there were about 214 Part-time Post Office (PTPO) vacancies.
