question for USPS employee...what is the difference between casual and transitional employee?

Answer 1

A casual employee is for just 90 day terms, can be rehired for another 90 days but limited to 180 days a year with one day unemployment between appointments. Transitional is endless employment in that catergory, and placed on the senority list toward becoming a regular. Neither has benefits or guarantees of hours or days per week, is required to work holidays.

Answer 2

Casuals are temporary workers who work up to a specific time limit and are let go. They are paid a lower hourly wage and receive no benefits.

I can't describe for you accurately the new transitional positions being created. The PO did something similar to this back in the late 1980s and only a handful of those transitionals ever made it into career positions, and never did get full credit for that transitional time.

Answer 3

Transitional employees are armed and easily angered.

Answer 4

VIOLATION!!!
