Leave Replacement Transfer Provisions

RCA's may request specific area information on this board,
but there is no need to post and ad because RCA's
cannot do a mutual transfer.

Please be sure and include in your post that
you are an RCA looking for information on the specific area.

Article 30.2.f.1 deals with RCA Transfers

RCA's do not do mutual transfers like a regular carrier does.
You cannot trade with another RCA in another office..
An RCA must have completed their probationary period before
they are allowed to transfer. The probationary period is 90 days
worked or 1 year, whichever comes first..

F. Reassignment (Transfer) to Another Office 1. A substitute, rural carrier
associate, or rural carrier relief employee, who has completed the probationary
period and then submits a written request for reassignment, may be reassigned
from one office to another, provided a vacancy exists in the leave replacement
ranks in the office to which reassignment is requested. A vacancy exists if a
regular route does not have an assigned leave replacement or the only route
in the office is an auxiliary route and there is no assigned leave replacement.
Such reassignment shall be considered an in-service placement.

An RCA transfer request will be effective within 30 days of notification to the losing office.

RCA Transfers RCAs who have completed their probationary period may request a
transfer in accordance with Article 30.2.F.  If the gaining office accepts the employees
request for transfer, the losing office must release the RCA. The transfer will be effective
within 30 days of the, notification to the losing office.  This is documented HERE
