What Is PS Form 3189?
PS Form 3189, Request for Temporary Schedule Change for Personal Convenience , also known as USPS Form 3189, USPS Temporary Change of Schedule form, or USPS Change of Schedule form is a Postal Service worksheet. This worksheet is used for requesting the United States Postal Office (USPS) to temporarily change regular timetable within a specified period (days, weeks, months). It is used by a USPS employee for their personal convenience. By submitting a properly filled in (and approved) petition to the supervisor, an individual agrees to forfeit any out-of-schedule premium, to which they would otherwise be entitled to. The appropriate union official must accept the temporary change before it is submitted for approval.
