"According to the MOU, the Postal Service is offering lump sum incentive payments totaling $15,000 for full-time career employees who choose to retire: $10,000 to be paid on August 15, 2025 and $5,000 to be paid on August 28, 2026. Part-time employees are eligible for a prorated amount. Employees must indicate on or before March 7, 2025, their intent to take advantage of the incentive. The MOU says the parties have agreed to relax some of the restrictions on the percentage of mail handlers who can be non-career Mail Handler Assistant (MHA) employees." |
