Scheduling Carriers M-39 Sect Scheduling Carriers Establishing Schedules Consider the following factors in establishing schedules: a. Schedule carriers to report before 6 a.m. only when absolutely necessary. b. Fix schedules to coincide with receipt and dispatch of mail. At least 80 percent of the carriers’ daily mail to be cased should be on or at their cases when they report for work. c. Schedule carriers by groups. Form groups of carriers who make the same number of delivery trips and whose office time is approximately the same. d. Generally, schedule carriers of the same group to begin, leave, return, and end at the same time. e. Schedule so that delivery to customers should be approximately the same time each day. f. Make a permanent schedule change when it is apparent that one or more days’ mail volume varies to where it is causing late leaving. g. Schedule carriers’ non-work days in accordance with the National Agreement.

Use MIARAP Unit Summary to establish groups within 5-10 minutes of like office times.
