The Syracuse NY Post Office is Hiring for City Carrier Assistants!

We have two Job Fairs coming up! One on Thursday 4/20/2023 at 10am at the East Syracuse Post Office, located at 404 W Manlius Street, East Syracuse NY 13057. The second one is on Saturday 4/22/2023 at 11am at Liverpool Bayberry Station located at 7608 Oswego Road OFC, Liverpool NY 13090. Managers will be present with computers for you to apply and all sorts of hiring materials to provide. Come see us and give us a chance to discuss the great career progression that we have at the USPS!

This job is a flexible position. This means you will be scheduled to cover routes when the Regular City Carrier is on their day off, or on vacation. Essentially, this is a substitute position. However, our current City Carrier Assistants are working at least 40 hours per week and there is a lot of opportunity to work more if desired. You can be asked to work in other offices, should the need arise and we do not have the need for work in Delhi, once the training process is complete and you are comfortable. You can, should the situation call for it, be required to work up to 60 hours in a week. After 40 hours worked or 8 hours in a day, you earn Overtime (1.5 times hourly rate). After 10 hours in a day, you earn Penalty Overtime (2 times hourly rate). This is also a Union position. You are represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC). They assist in pay packages and rules/regulations applicable to the job. You are eligible immediately upon hire to enroll in benefits that are provided by the NALC until such a time as you become Career and can enroll in benefits directly through the United States Postal Service.

Career progressions are as follows: As a CCA, sometime within your first 24 months, you will be converted to a Part-Time Flexible City Carrier. This means that you will begin paying into the Thrift Savings Plan, you will begin paying into the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), you will earn Annual Leave and Sick Leave. If within your first 24 months, you still aren't a PTF and a Regular City Carrier retires or transfers, you would be converted according to seniority to a Full Time Regular City Carrier assigned to your own route. In addition, once you become a career employee, you can seek out potential Management opportunities as they become available.

To Apply for this position, you must apply on WWW.USPS.COM, go to the bottom of the page and click on "Careers". Search for Syracuse in the search field. Find the City Carrier Assistant Position and apply.

If you need help with the application process, please reach out to a Manager directly at the Syracuse NY Post Office. Our customer phone line is 315-452-3501. We are more than happy to assist with the application or questions about the position. In addition, if you do not have a computer to apply, let us know and we can set up a time for you to come in and use one of ours!

All correspondence during the hiring process will be sent via EMAIL. Pay attention to your email and check your spam box frequently. We sent requests for Background Check from "GIS" as well as a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) check.
