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:

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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:

  1. Mail Count: 250 pieces
  2. 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
  3. 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.
