Political Fundraising

Don’t Show Me the Money

The Hatch Act prohibits a Postal Service employee from hosting a political fundraiser, inviting anyone to a political fundraiser, or collecting contributions to a political fundraiser for a partisan political party, candidate, or group.
Don’t engage in partisan political fundraising on or off the clock at work or at home.

Media stories about postal employees violating the Hatch Act undermine the public’s trust and confidence in the Postal Service. Customers ship with us because they trust us. Maintaining the public’s trust is smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for more information about the Hatch Act.

Payroll Taxes

Pay Your Taxes

As an employee of the Postal Service, you have a legal, ethical, and fiduciary obligation to obey the tax laws of our country.
As a citizen and a public servant obligated to uphold the public trust, you’re ethically mandated to complete and file all required tax forms for federal, state and, where applicable, local taxes.
Taxes must be filed timely and accurately. It erodes public confidence when postal employees are viewed as not paying their taxes.

Maintaining the public’s trust is crucial to our success.

And it’s smart business.
