USPS is planning to hire annuitants from various crafts for “the peak” which is November 12, 2016 through January 6, 2017.
If you have postal friends who have retired, let them know about this great opportunity to help USPS process and deliver an outstanding holiday season to customers … and earn some extra holiday money (about $16 per hour)!
Application period is August 1 – 19.
Annuitant Holiday Clerk Assistants and Annuitant City Carrier Assistant (Holiday Term) jobs have been posted . They are posted districtwide and are limited to postal retirees. Last year, the general public was invited to apply.
Below are two examples from Bay Valley District. All annuitant job postings say:
This is a noncompetitive appointment open to United States Postal Service annuitants only. Annuitants who retired more than 90 days prior to the effective date of appointment will be required to complete a drug test and give consent for a criminal background check and National Agency Check with Inquiries.
The annuitant job postings fail to state, “In the summary of accomplishments you should list the Office(s) where you are interested (city, state, zip).”

ARE THEY NUTS? NO FRIGGING WAY! I COULDNT WAIT TO GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE…COME BACK?…LMFAO!!!!!!!!
Just remember, your seniority will no longer exist, and your union protection will be minimal at best. You can be fired for almost any reason, so if you have had poor relations with your managers while you worked, expect alot more if you take this position. In larger offices, expect to work 7 days a week. Of course, there is nothing keeping you from just walking out the door if you don’t like it.
The BIG question to ask is “Will my postal service annuity be reduced due to the dual compensation rule?” In the past, the Postmaster Relief position was the only job allowed exempt under this rule. Why would anyone want to work if their annuity would be reduced?
I have two thoughts on this matter. If u need some extra money and r in good physical-fitness,go 4 for it. On the other hand,it appears 2 be,a weak apology from both USPS management and the various postal-workers unions:4 the continually worsening working conditions,during this century. This is especially so,since the”Holiday Assistants”;will have the employee-status,of the former Christmas Causuals.
omg…are they serious?!….lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a retired postal worker, I am interested in the part time position
