922.14
The worksheet Form 1838-C (not a
separate sheet of paper) must be used to
record the mail count each time a
withdrawal of mail is made from the
distribution cases, sacks, hampers,
trays, etc., and must be used to show
actual time entries on the side of the
form in the columns headed, Actual
Time Entries, for each type of work
performed.
922.2
Making Descriptive Entries (Exhibit
922.11 (pp. 1 and 2))
At top of the form, enter the name of
the post office, branch or station, and
the route number. At bottom of form,
record the day of the week, date,
signature, regular or replacement, and
lunch time. On the day of inspection,
when the form is completed by the
manager, the name of the carrier is
entered in the space provided and the
examiner signs the form below the
carrier's name. When a manager or other
competent employee counts the
mail because it is not practicable for
the carrier to report early enough to do
the counting, the manager will enter
and circle his/her initials by the figures
recorded on the worksheet.

Foot and Bicycle Routes
Clock in, or enter beginning time, on
the line marked "B." Enter leaving,

these time recordings in the same
manner as the entries on the current
timecards, i.e., from bottom to
top.

Motorized Routes
Motorized carriers who report at the
garage to pick up their vehicle; use the
first group of time recording blocks to
record travel time from the garage to
the office.
The end of travel time and beginning of
office time recorded in block "B" of
the next group should be the same
unless the carrier is required to swing.
When returning the vehicle to the
garage, after completion of entries for
delivery trips, use the next unused
group of blocks in the same manner.
