JCAM: CCA Work Hours

What document provides that CCA's and non-odl carriers are effectively limited to working 11.5 hours in one service day, whether or not a meal break is taken?

The document that provides CCA's and non-ODL carriers are effectively limited to working 11.5 hours in one service day, whether or not a meal break is taken, is the NALC-USPS Joint Contract Administration Manual (JCAM) March 2022 edition【1†source】.

What section?

The provision that effectively limits CCAs and non-ODL (non-Overtime Desired List) carriers to working 11.5 hours in one service day, whether or not a meal break is taken, is found in the NALC-USPS Joint Contract Administration Manual (JCAM) March 2022 edition. This is detailed in the discussion regarding ELM (Employee and Labor Relations Manual) Section 432.32, stating that except as designated in labor agreements for bargaining unit employees or in emergency situations as determined by the PMG (Postmaster General) or designee, employees may not be required to work more than 12 hours in 1 service day. Furthermore, the total hours of daily service, including scheduled work hours, overtime, and mealtime, may not extend over a period longer than 12 consecutive hours. This effectively limits letter carriers not on the ODL or Work Assignment List (including PTFs and CCAs) to 11½ hours per service day, whether or not a meal break is taken【22†source】.
