FIVE SCANS ONLY: If you had all your pickup scans counted last count and they’ve been a part of your evaluation mgmt has the right to use their own language present in pub 399. If you have never been counted with them and now when you finally will be, the only scan 5 should be called into question.
In the Chino Maine Post Office in Chino, CA 91708 We have been given a direct order to only scan 5 parcels. Even during count they have implemented it today February 7th 2018. And whichever RCA or regular carrier scans more than 5 parcels management said that the will be giving out investigative interviews.
Are you talking about MYPO? Or parcels from a UPS type store. We have a carrier that picks up between 20 and up to 60 packages daily. We are instructed to count only 30 scans (leave the rest too the clerk) but get full count for handling all parcels. Small spurs are counted as letters. Ask if they are pulling scan reports for the count off of RIMS reports. Always check your scanner at the end of your day. Take a picture of your scan total. Add badge, advo, depart to and return to office scans also.
