Leave Requests

• Is your leave request accurate? Don’t assume someone else is keeping track.
• Make sure your timekeeper is aware of your hours.

Properly requesting leave avoids payroll adjustments that cost the Postal Service time and money.

And that’s smart business.

Supplemental Employment with Competitors

Postal Service employees are prohibited from working for our competitors that deliver mailable matter or for a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) in any capacity.

Examples of our competitors include FedEx and UPS. The UPS Store is an example of a CMRA.

When you decline a second job with one of our competitors, you avoid a conflict of interest and contribute to the financial success of the Postal Service.

And that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for guidance.
