The formula consists of; 1. Take the number of vacation replacements working in the office minus the number of ancillary routes. 2. Divide this result by the number of approved regular routes on a discharge day. (J and K roads) 3.

Subtract .10 4. Multiply the result by the number of approved roads on a discharge day. 5. Round to the nearest integer. This is the minimum number of routes that management must approve for a day of rescue on Saturday. A recalculation of the formula is performed when the number of auxiliary routes, the number of holiday replacements or the number of rescue days required change (e.g. B after a rural mail count or route adjustment that changes a route “H” to “J”/”K” or “J”/”K” to “H”). According to the new calculation, emergency days more or less on Saturdays may be available.
