POAAL's WA Branch held a Licensee meeting in Perth on Sunday 27 November. It was a dynamic meeting, with spirited discussion on topics including CEPOS, carded parcels, stock and consumables supply, and certain mail payments.[caption id="attachment_5222" align="aligncenter" width="398" caption="Some of the Licensees at POAAL's meeting in Perth, WA, including State Chairman John Fisher (far right)"]
[/caption]During our discussions, we found that many Licensees who received the base rate of Outward Mail Processing Fee (OMPF) of 1.5%/1.65% were doing more work than required when processing outward mail at their LPO.It is important that Licensees read the Licensed Post Office Arrangements Payment Scheme to understand what work is required for the OMPF.Licensees should check LiPOMS to see what level of OMPF is being paid, and then consider what work is being done in preparing the outward mail each day.If any Licensee does not have a copy of the LPO Arrangements Payment Scheme, request a copy from Australia Post immediately. A pro forma letter for this purpose can be downloaded from the POAAL website.
