Does the high-3 include locality pay? Retention Incentive pay?
Locality pay, yes. Retention incentive pay, no.
i received a new Manager that is stressing me totally out and I have high blood pressure can I retire with disabilities. She has stopped my overtime, changed my reporting time and is trying to add more work to my position. she’s making me go to lunch 3 hours after I report to work. what are my options. I work for the USPS and I have 38 years of service.
Yes, you can apply for disability retirement. In the meantime, if you are a bargaining unit employee, you can ask your union representative to review your situation and determine if any of these changes are a violation of the union contract.
after you figure out your high-3, is that your unreduced monthly annuity?
Thanks
