[QUOTE="Maui, post: 4961026, member: 45037"] At Express if you are hired FT you are guaranteed 35 hours of pay. So you will either work at least that much or be paid "mins" to get there. If you are hired and start before October 3 you would get a raise. I'm not sure of the exact amount without looking, but it would be closer to $18.50 or something like that. OT depends a bit on where you are, but it is usually available if you want it almost everywhere. If FT you would start with 5 sick days, 2 floating holidays, and 2 personal days as well as paid holidays. You earn vacation for the following year so that would be able to be scheduled beginning June 2021. It's 2 weeks (pro-rated) the first 5 years, then 3, 4 after 10 and 5 after 20. If you were a regular mail carrier I wouldn't advise switching, but Express seems better than CCA. Pay is a little jacked at Express, but I am hopeful that there will be a move to reduce the steps to top out like the tractor drivers will beginning this October. It's now 5 steps and the top pay is competitive - $28-32 for regular drivers and $30-35 for swings or tractor drivers. I recommend swing if you're OK with covering different routes. It's not for everyone, but you can run some of the best routes (and the worst) and you get paid the higher rate. Additionally, you are not on the draft list for mandates with the regular couriers.
