USPS To RIF Employees Today

The Postal Service plans to hand out Specific Reduction-In-Force notices to its employees today. Postal workers will receive RIF notices if they did not receive an assignment; if they received a demotion to a lower-grade position; or if they received a reassignment to a same-grade position. According to the agency's Organizational Redesign FAQ, employees who are assigned a new position will begin that new position on September 10th. Employees who received separation notices will be separated effective Sept. 9th. USPS has not said how many employees will receive RIFs today.
