USPS announces implementation date for advanced annual leave provisions for CCAs and PTFs in accordance with Arbitrator Nolan’s March 21, 2025, interest arbitration award

Effective July 12, 2025 (Pay Period 16-2025), city carrier assistant (CCA) and part-time flexible (PTF) carriers meeting the criteria will receive advanced annual leave.

In accordance with the National Agreement Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Re: PTF Advanced Annual Leave, 40 hours of annual leave will be advanced to PTF employees, prorated to the end of the leave year for their first leave year as a PTF, and annually thereafter, unless and until the employee converts to full-time status.

Similarly, in accordance with the MOU Re: CCA Advanced Annual Leave, upon completion of an initial 360-day appointment as a CCA, and immediately upon reappointment to any subsequent appointments thereafter, CCAs will be advanced 40 hours of annual leave. Upon initial implementation, CCAs will receive annual leave prorated to the end of their 360-day term.

Eligible CCAs and PTFs should see the credit to their annual leave balance reflected on the Pay Period 16-2025 earnings statement.
