Use of Postal Credit Cards

Postal Credit Cards: Penalty for Private Use

Misuse of a postal credit card can result in discipline or removal from your job.
Postal credit cards may only be used for official travelrelated expenses. Don’t use it for airline tickets to visit friends or family, for gambling at a casino – even while on official travel (we don’t make these things up!), or purchasing personal items.

Using the postal credit card only for its intended purposes helps the Postal Service control expenses, which contributes to the financial health of the Postal Service.

And that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) if you need more guidance. But you shouldn’t really need more guidance on this one, should you?

Personal Devices

It’s Just Business, Nothing Personal

Never connect personal or non-Postal Service devices to any postal computer, equipment or network through a wired or wireless connection.
Don’t store, process or transmit any postal information on personal and non-Postal Service devices at any time.

Safeguarding the postal network to protect postal information resources prevents losses that could impact our operations and finances.

And that’s smart business.

Accident investigation

Stick to the facts.

The purpose of an accident investigation is to identify and document the cause so steps can be taken to prevent it from happening again. When an accident occurs, conduct an on-site investigation immediately, secure the accident site and, if necessary, arrange medical care for the injured. Interview employees and witnesses until you have a complete assessment of what happened.

Supervisors must complete an electronic accident report in SHMT (Safety Health Management Tool).

And that’s smart safety!

You’re responsible for the safe operation of any vehicle your drive while on the job. If there’s a defect or safety issue, don’t drive. Use PS Form 4565, Vehicle Repair Tag, to report vehicles that need repair.

And that’s smart safety.
