One-Time Voluntary
Transfer Opportunity
for Part-Time Flexible
Employees Begins
September 1
In compliance with the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU), “Re: PTF One-Time Voluntary
Reassignment Opportunity,” the Postal Service will
provide a list of available full-time residual duty
assignments for Part-Time Flexible (PTF) clerks to
select within their own district. This applies to PTF
clerks who were on the rolls as of Sept. 21, 2024, and
who have completed their probationary period in
installations with less than 100 career clerk craft
employees. The Postal Service will include these
residual duty assignments on eReassign for the
September 2025 posting and will list the assignments
by District.
The full-time residual duty assignments are from
installations with 100 or more clerk craft employees
after application of Item 4 of the MOU, “Re: Residual
Vacancies-Clerk Craft.” The Postal Service will provide a
cross-reference list from the September 2025
eReassign posting to the APWU Clerk Division no later
than next Friday, Sept. 5. Once furnished, we will post
the list on the Clerk Division page of apwu.org as a link
for easier access. Interested PTFs should keep in mind
that since the USPS reorganization, some districts have
increased substantially in geographical dimension. All
relocation costs are the responsibility of the PTF
accepting reassignment to an applicable residual duty
assignment. PTFs will have until the September regular
eReassign posting closes at 11:00 p.m. CST on Sept. 21.
The MOU states, “the parties recognize that it is in the
interest of both the Employer and the Union to provide
PTF Clerk Craft employees in installations with less
than 100 Clerk Craft employees the opportunity to
convert to full-time status.” The MOU also explains, “a
PTF Clerk Craft employees seeking to voluntarily
reassign pursuant to this Agreement must have an
acceptable work, attendance, and safety record and
meet the minimum qualifications for all Clerk Craft
residual vacancies to which they request voluntary
reassignment.”
If a PTF selects a residual vacancy that requires
qualifications (scheme, window, etc.), they must qualify
in their current installation prior to being reassigned.
Upon qualifying, the Postal Service will complete the
placement no later than the first day of the third pay
period following selection/qualification of the
employee. A PTF clerk craft employee who fails to
qualify will remain in their current installation as a PTF
clerk craft employee.
