ELM REVISION
Back Pay Claims for Erroneous Retirement Separation
Effective December 23, 2004, Employee and Labor
Relations (ELM) section 436.52, Corrective Action, is revised
to show that employees who separate for retirement
erroneously and are restored to service are compensated
as if they had worked during the period of erroneous separation
rather than given the amount they would have received
in retirement payments.
We will incorporate this revision into the next printed version
of the ELM and also into the online version available
on the Postal Service PolicyNet Web site:
Go to http://blue.usps.gov.
Under “Essential Links” in the left-hand column, click
on References.
Under “References” in the right-hand column, under
“Policies”, click on PolicyNet.
