Post-Employment Restrictions

• Accepting employment with a business that you worked with in your postal capacity after you retire or leave the Postal Service can be perilous because a criminal law may limit your communications with the Postal Service on behalf of your new employer.
• Which of the post-employment restrictions apply to you, and how they will apply, depends on your individual situation.

The post-employment restrictions are complex and fact-specific – please contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) in advance to avoid criminal liability and damage to the Postal Service’s reputation.

Looking before you leap is smart business.
