Borrowing Postal Funds

• Borrowing money from a cash drawer and repaying it at a later date is a misuse of government property.
• Likewise, taking cash from the sale of a money order, and reporting the sale of the money order at a later date when you are able to pay it back is also a misuse of government property.
• The Inspector General’s audits routinely uncover this type of conduct, and employees involved are often removed.

Keeping cash in the drawer and not in your pocket is smart business – for the Postal Service and for you.

Sustainability II

You would encourage employees to do all they can to conserve electricity and reduce the bill!

You can help conserve energy by taking these small steps:

• Turn off lights when leaving an empty room
• Replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs
• Replace standard and halogen bulbs with CFLs
• Activate the energy-saving features of office equipment
• Unplug battery chargers when not in use
• Use timers on lighting
• Switch off equipment when not in use

Small steps can lead to big savings.

Conserving electricity saves the Postal Service money, and that’s SMART BUSINESS!
