Nrlca 2015 mail count calculator
A very specific request!
The NRLCA (National Rural Letter Carriers' Association) 2015 Mail Count Calculator is a tool used by rural letter carriers to calculate their daily mail count and overtime pay. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
NRLCA 2015 Mail Count Calculator Formula:
- Mail Count: Calculate the total number of pieces of mail delivered, including:
- Letters (1-5 oz)
- Flats (6-13 oz)
- Parcels (14 oz and over)
- Certified Mail
- Registered Mail
- Money Orders
- Mail Count Adjustment: Apply the following adjustments to the total mail count:
- Subtract 10% for each 10% of mail that is:
- Hand-cancelled
- Canceled with a rubber stamp
- Canceled with a hand-stamp
- Add 10% for each 10% of mail that is:
- Machine-cancelled
- Canceled with a machine-stamp
- Subtract 10% for each 10% of mail that is:
- Overtime Pay Calculation: Calculate overtime pay based on the adjusted mail count:
- Overtime pay is calculated at 1.5 times the regular pay rate for each hour worked over 8 hours in a day.
Example:
Let's say a rural letter carrier delivers 250 pieces of mail on a given day. Here's how they would calculate their mail count:
- Mail Count: 250 pieces
- Mail Count Adjustment:
- Subtract 10% for 20% of hand-cancelled mail: 250 x 0.20 = 50 pieces
- Add 10% for 20% of machine-cancelled mail: 250 x 0.20 = 50 pieces
- Adjusted Mail Count: 250 - 50 + 50 = 250
- Overtime Pay Calculation:
- Regular pay rate: $X per hour
- Overtime pay rate: $X x 1.5 = $X.50 per hour
- Hours worked over 8 hours: 9 hours
- Overtime pay: 9 hours x $X.50 per hour = $4.50
Keep in mind that this is a simplified example, and actual calculations may vary depending on individual circumstances. It's always a good idea to consult the NRLCA's official guidelines and resources for more detailed information.
