The Postal Service and the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA) have decided to delay the implementation of the new rural route evaluations (RRECS) from April 8 to April 22, 2023.
During the distribution of Forms 4241-A and 4241-M, it was discovered that some of the data fields did not display correctly. Additionally, the Volume Factor field displayed zero and rural carriers who elected High Option were not provided that election.
The route evaluations (standard hours and minutes), as shown on the recently printed 4241-As, are correct based on the data input.
Adjustments will be made to correct the data fields and it will be necessary to reprint both Forms 4241-A and 4241-M. You will receive further notification when these forms will be available for printing.
