Branch NewsDay of MourningBrothers and Sisters,
I'm sure by now everyone has become aware of the passing of Jimmy Carter who was the 39th president of the United States and winner of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize. The Postal Service will hold a national day of observance to honor the deceased president on Thursday January 9th, 2025 with limited delivery and operations occurring. Per NPMHU.org, "Pay and leave administration for the National Day of Observance is governed by section 519.4 of the Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM) as well as, the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding between the USPS and the NPMHU (enclosed). Mail Handler Assistant (MHAs) will receive pay for actual work hours performed on the National Day of Observance and will not receive Administrative Leave." Mail handlers can submit for administrative leave for January 9th as there will be additional employees(10 per tour) that will be granted leave above the normal leave percentages. After January 9th if the leave book is open there will be 2 spots for admin leave requests, if the leave book is already closed there will be 1 spot open for admin leave. This is the same process that was followed for the G.W. Bush Day of Mourning. The deadline to use your admin day is September 30th, 2025. All employees entitled to the administrative leave will be given an opportunity to use the leave prior to the deadline. Vacation Submission Deadlines
