Employee Attendance

Keep Track

Pay attention to employee attendance and properly document all absences.
Employees should not get paid for working, unless they’re actually working.

It’s about preventing time and attendance fraud.

And that’s smart business.

Find more information about time and attendance tools at Handbook F-21.

Hurricane season

Hurricanes hugely happen.

The National Hurricane Center issues watches and warnings for storms that threaten parts of the United States. Hurricanes bring with them storm surges, heavy rains, high winds, tornadoes and rip currents. The official hurricane season is May through November, but hurricanes can happen in any month.

If you’re in an area most likely to see such storms, the Hurricane Preparedness Guide offers information on how to protect employees while minimizing damage and loss of postal assets, including vehicles and facilities. It’s available on the National Preparedness webpage at http://blue.usps.gov/nationalpreparedness/.

And that’s smart safety!

Health screenings

Do you know your numbers?

The Postal Service urges employees to get regular health screenings that include blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar level checks. They can help you and your doctor determine your risk for certain diseases and conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

Healthy employees use less sick leave, show up for work and are more productive.

And that’s smart safety!

For additional information or guidance, contact your safety office.
