JOINT MESSAGE FROM THE POSTMASTER GENERAL, UNION OFFICIALS, AND MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATIONS

Combined Federal Campaign

Last year, postal employees demonstrated their continued generosity by pledging nearly $38 million in payrolldeductions to the charities of their choice through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). We want to thank all of you who participated — your support has helped those in need not only across our nation but around theworld.

As you know, we only need to watch the nightly news to recognize the multiple services that depend on con-tributions under programs like the CFC.

Your generous support can and does make a difference. From now until December 15, please show yourcompassion and commitment by using a simple, yet effective, tool for giving — the CFC. Your contributions willmake an important difference in the lives of those in need.

Please give the CFC your full support again this year. Contact your CFC Coordinator to learn more about payroll deduction and how to sign up for the campaign.

Thank you in advance for your continued generosity.

Domestic MailREMINDER

Delivery of Standard Mail (A) in Apartment BoxesRecent customer feedback indicates that there is a serious

failure to comply with Standard Mail (A) delivery procedures inapartment building environments. Our customers have voicedconcerns because their mail is being left in apartment vesti-bules rather than delivered into mailboxes as required inHandbook M-41, City Delivery Carriers Duties and Respon-sibilities, Section 32, Delivery of Ordinary Mail Matter. When thePostal Service fails to properly deliver mail into mail receptacles,customers see no difference between the service we provideand that of an alternative delivery service. We are devaluingboth our mailers’ products and our service.

Carriers must deliver to the proper mail receptacle all mailbearing the exceptional address format (e.g., “Mr. John Doe orCurrent Resident/Occupant”) on the mailing label as ad-dressed. This mail is undeliverable only if the house, apartment,office, or building is unoccupied or nonexistent. The deliveryemployee must endorse undeliverable pieces as “OtherUndeliverable Standard Mail (A) (UBBM)” and bundle them withother undeliverable Standard Mail (A) for verification and properhandling.

In apartment buildings, carriers must deliver mailings withapartment numbers (addressed to “Occupant,” “PostalCustomer,” etc.) to the proper mail receptacle as specified inthe mailing address. Carriers must deliver mailings withoutapartment numbers beginning at the lowest numbered mail re-ceptacle and continuing upward until they deliver one piece toevery receptacle. Where mail receptacles are unnumbered ornot in sequential order, carriers should deliver mail into the

receptacles working from left to right as if the mail receptacleswere in sequential order. If there are more pieces than there aremail receptacles, the delivery employee must endorse undeliv-erable pieces and bundle them with other undeliverableStandard Mail (A) for verification and proper disposal.

Carriers must not leave mail undelivered on racks, tables,shelves, or other fixtures. In apartments and other centralizeddelivery environments, carriers may leave mail addressed to fullmail receptacles in a designated location that affords adequateprotection for the mail with the permission of the addressee orafter leaving Form 3849, Delivery Notice/Reminder/Receipt,notifying the addressee. Carriers must always deliver both com-ponents of detached label mailings, the letter-size address labeland accompanying flat or sample piece, at the same time.

These procedures do not apply to simplified address mail(boxholders) received for delivery on a rural route. Rural carriersmust follow the procedures outlined in Handbook PO-603,Rural Carrier Duties and Responsibilities, Part 320, Delivery ofOrdinary and Simplified Address Mail.

Please ensure that all delivery personnel are aware of ourcustomers’ concerns and that all mail is delivered in compliancewith Postal Service policy. Providing quality delivery will ensurea visible difference between Postal Service delivery and alter-nate delivery services.

REVISION

Handbook F-1, Post Office Accounting ProceduresPayroll processing, including the printing of payroll checks

and earning statements, has always been performed at theInformation Systems and Accounting Service Centers (IS/ASC,formerly known as the Minneapolis Information Service Cen-ter). To ensure that employees will be paid should the IS/ASCexperience a physical or a system problem and checks cannotbe issued, procedures are in place for the San Mateo Informa-tion Service Center (SMISC) to print checks and earning state-ments based on emergency pay procedures.

Handbook F-1, Post Office Accounting Procedures, is beingrevised with the addition of section 822.77, Payroll DisasterContingency Plan, to address contingency payroll processingprocedures.

Updating employee mailing addresses is an important partof any contingency plan to ensure that employees’ payrollchecks are sent to the correct addresses. Therefore, the em-ployee’s current address will be preprinted on his or her checkand/or earning statement (for those employees that have net-to-bank) for one pay period each year. The employee shouldverify the address and make any changes on Form 1216,Employee’s Current Mailing Address, which will be provided asa stuffer with the check and/or earning statement.

These procedures do not apply to the Year 2000 (Y2K)changeover. Specific plans and procedures are in place shoulda disruption occur due to Y2K.

This revision will be incorporated into the next quarterlyupdate of the online Handbook F-1 located on the CorporateIntranet at http://blue.usps.gov/cpim (click on Handbooks, thenBy Document Number, and then select F-1, Post OfficeAccounting Procedures).

� Each office will be required to provide salary advancesto those employees not paid under the emergency salaryprocedures.

� Salary advances should be given up to a maximum of40 paid hours per week, provided the employee is miss-ing a full day’s pay or more. This includes those em-ployees who were paid under the emergency salaryprocedures.


� No salary advances are to be given to employees forovertime or premiums such as night differential orSunday premium.

� A ‘disaster’ payroll register will be distributed from SanMateo to identify those employees paid and the numberof hours paid (normal check register distribution).

� Checks will be sent to employees’ current mailingaddresses except checks for transitional employees.Employees are to cash their checks no earlier than thedate listed on the check.

� Checks for transitional employees will be sent individual-ly to the office. Postmasters must not release checks totransitional employees who were not in a pay status dur-ing the pay period for which the emergency paymentswere issued.

� Specific instructions will be provided to employees con-cerning allotments.

If a payroll check is lost, stolen, or destroyed during the disrup-tion timeframe, the employee must follow the instructions listedin section 822.73(1).

In particular, leased vehiclesmust be inspected carefully for mail or postal propertyprior to their return to the lessor at the conclusion ofthe lease.

The Know Fraud ProjectKnow Fraud is a joint effort of leading government and pri-

vate agencies to help consumers help themselves avoid tele-marketing and mail fraud. Agency partners include the U.S.Postal Inspection Service, Better Business Bureau, AARP,Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, FederalTrade Commission, National Association of Attorneys General,and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Know Fraud’s primary goal is to help consumers know thesigns of fraud and know how to prevent it from entering theirhomes. Unlike most other crimes, telemarketing fraud and mailfraud perpetrators rely on one key element to succeed — victimparticipation. With guidance from Know Fraud, potential victimscan help stop these perpetrators.

From November 6 to November 10, 1999, every home inAmerica (approximately 120 million addresses) will receive apostcard (see page 42) with valuable fraud prevention tips. Thejumbo postcard can be displayed near the phone to remindconsumers to make informed decisions about fraudulent solici-tations and avoid being victimized. It features an address andweb site to get more information or to submit complaints.

Know Fraud research indicates that consumers victimizedby telemarketing fraud may not report the crime or obtain helpbecause they don’t know where to turn. Consumers primarilyresolve fraud issues through the local media, not law enforce-ment groups. To address this, the Know Fraud postcard pro-vides a toll-free telephone number for victim assistance.Consumers can reach the FTC’s Consumer Response Center,a Postal Inspection Service support center, or will be given thenumber to their local offices of the Postal Inspection Service orthe FBI. All callers hear a greeting from actor Andy Griffith, fol-lowed by an automated fraud-prevention message.

Know Fraud agencies are working with Platypus Produc-tions, Inc., to produce a fraud prevention video, hosted by LouisGossett Jr. The video will be distributed to every public library inthe country along with fraud prevention material and a Spanishversion of the Know Fraud postcard. Consumers can also ac-cess the Know Fraud web site (http://www.consumer.gov/knowfraud).

Andy Griffith will alert the public to the Know Fraud postcardmailing in a taped public service announcement (PSA) to air inOctober. His PSA will become part of a four-minute promotionalvideo, narrated by Postmaster General William Henderson,and part of video news releases being distributed through pub-lic information officers across the country.

On November 4, 1999, Know Fraud partners will host anational press conference in Washington, DC, and approxi-mately 60 other press conferences are planned around theUnited States. Local news agencies are invited to use theGriffith PSA and the video news releases for local broadcasts.In addition, the U.S. Postal Service will distribute a publicity kitoffering guidance to help plan local press conferences.

As a Know Fraud partner, the Postal Inspection Servicewants consumers to know what to do and who can help whenthey face fraud issues. Perhaps more important than fightingcrime, we hope to prevent it. We believe we can, but only if thepublic Knows Fraud.

End User ComputingEnd User Computing is an important element of the Postal

Service’s Year 2000 readiness activities. Desktop workstations,laptop computers, and end user software have been preparedto function correctly through the change from 1999 to 2000. Allend user equipment was tagged with a Year 2000 sticker whenthe work was completed. If you don’t have a sticker on yourdesktop, notify your local information systems manager.

Many employees have received e-mail messages fromfriends and colleagues that contain instructions for implement-ing Year 2000 workstation “fixes.” There is no need to take anyaction, other than deleting the message. Please do not make

any changes to your settings or software configuration sinceunauthorized work on your system can destabilize the work thathas already been done.

If you have questions regarding end user activities and Year2000 readiness, please refer to the End User Computing up-date in Postal Bulletin 22002 (7-15-99).
