However, not everyone in those competitive areas will receive a notice, because they went only to employees who could be affected.<\/p>\n<p>Employees who accepted the 2011 Special Incentive Offer under voluntary early retirement (VER) will not receive a General RIF Notice. However, those who applied for optional retirement or resignation under this offer will receive a notice if their competitive area may undergo a RIF.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for a RIF process, potentially affected employees should create or update their profiles in eCareer as soon as possible. The eCareer profile can effectively showcase work experience, education, training and special skills. This is an important tool used to determine assignments during the RIF process this month \u2014 again, if a RIF is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>USPS will continue to update employees throughout the organizational change process.
