I have seen a lot of posts where Postmasters are telling rural carriers they cannot take leave during December!! Just an FYI, there is NO block on rural carriers taking leave during December. We are to be granted leave if a relief carrier is available.. Period.. Ok, carry on! Article 10 Section 2. Annual Leave A. Minimum Units and Availability of Leave Replacements Regular rural carriers shall be granted annual leave in mini- mum units of one day. Rural carriers should be granted annual leave in accordance with their personal wishes, provided a leave replacement is available. It shall be the responsibility of each rural carrier to plan annual leave at times when a leave replacement is available. If the leave replacement for the route is committed to serve another regular rural route, such leave replacement is not available. A regular rural carrier should not be unreasonably denied annual leave because of the leave replacement’s assignment to a vacant route, auxiliary route, or a route where the regular rural carrier is on extended leave. B. Forfeiting Leave Care shall be exercised to assure that no employee is required to forfeit any part of that employee’s annual leave. C. Approved Leave All previously approved annual leave requests must be hon- ored except in serious emergency situations.
