elated to the employee’s duties; those that are somehow related to the employment, but are not directly
related to his/her duties; and allegations that have not been established. This Statement of Accepted
Facts outlines these three categories.
I. Accepted Event(s) That Are Factors of Employment:
1. On May 9, 2009, Ms. Smith was told by a supervisor to throw bulk mail for a male co-worker because
he was lagging behind. The co-worker told Ms. Smith she was throwing the mail too fast and needed to
slow down. She continued to work at a fast pace and the co-worker got angry and began to throw the
newspapers and magazines at her legs.
2. Several letter carriers were out from June 1, 2009 to August 20, 2009. This increased her daily
workload, requiring that she work 50 -60 hours per week.
3. On August 21, 2009, a co-worker yelled and swore at Ms. Smith, accusing her of making all the other
carriers look bad by sorting her mail in advance of everyone else. This same co-worker warned Ms. Smith
to watch her back, adding “I know where you live.”
II. Accepted Event(s) That Are Not Factors of Employment:
1. On August 25, 2009, Ms. Smith was assigned to a different post office. This re-assignment added an
additional hour to her commute and created conflicts with child care arrangements.
2. Ms. Smith was dissatisfied with her new delivery route and considered it less desirable than her
previous route.
III. Incident Alleged Which the Office Finds Did Not Occur:
Ms. Smith alleged she was physically assaulted by her supervisor in a December 3, 2008 meeting where
two other witnesses attending the meeting said that the supervisor did not touch Ms. Smith.
