AUTOMATED RURAL JOB BIDDING
ALL RURAL CARRIERS CAN REVIEW AVAILABLE JOBS ONLINE
Last week, the Postal Service reached an important milestone in its initiative to reach out to employees using technology. Now, all rural carrier postings, bids and awards are available online.
Previously, not all rural carriers had access to the online bidding process. But now, all 120,000 rural carriers will have access to the automated bidding system, 24/7.
Craft employees can use any of the following ways to access the automated job bidding systems:
On LiteBlue:
- Go to the employee apps carousel at the center of the home page, or
- Click on the “My HR” tab at the top navigation bar of LiteBlue and then on the “Find Employee Apps” section, or
- Click on the employee apps button at the bottom of every My HR Page.
At HR kiosks, Web–bidding computers, or Interactive Voice Response and TDD/TTY for hearing–impaired employees.
Employees need their Employee ID number and USPS PIN to log on to LiteBlue and automated bidding systems.
I’m a RCA trying to bid on a route before the end of the week. The bid closes on 5/18/15 but I don’t have my pin number. I asked HR to reissue me a new one last Friday 5/08/15. I’m afraid it won’t get to me in time. I’ve been waiting 9 yrs to become a Full time regular carrier. I really don’t want to miss out on this opportunity for some something as minor as not having my pin. What can I do? Are there any other options for me?
Michelle – you’re contacting the wrong company – the Rural Carriers Union is the entity that you need to pose your question to. Ask the local union rep immediately – if he/she does not know then ask the supervisor or postmaster. Good luck – PEN
