It sounds like OIG is a huge waste of money. Findings were forwarded to the fox guarding the chicken coop. This is ridiculous beyond belief.

I would like to know if these people were being paid during the OIG investigation ???? MANY carriers and clerks have been put off work in an ‘emergency placement’ status ( without pay) while the OIG conducts their investigation. For months at a time. That would be interesting to know. Why do managers receive preferintial treatment as opposed to craft.

once reported faulty time keeping practice to the OIG, they did nothing, however did tell management that it had been reported. make no mistake, the OIG is as culpable as the managers that still time

Just goes to show there are bad apples in management as in craft! Plenty of craft have taken time not earned as well. Like 75% of city carriers! Rural routes can deliver 700 plus boxes going 60 plus miles in less then eight and we still have city that can not walk off more then 400 deliveries.

It should be easy to check every office in the country to check for “shavings”. Computers should be able to pop up indications of manual time changes. Do this, and remove a few thousand managers…that would save alot of money. But, also, give back what the workers should have been paid, too.

We forwarded our findings to postal management for action they deem appropriate. ##

Sure, let those who authorized the “shaving” of clock rings (stealing=theft=firing) determine discipline of those who were told to shave time??? Are you kidding. Just fire those who did this. If it were craft employees who stole even a penney, they would be fired, why not management??

The easiest way to curtail the practice of shaving time from employees is to give employees real time access to their clock rings. That increases the chance of detection and stopping it.
