• It’s not a TV screen at the airport. When you’re working on sensitive and sensitive-enhanced information at your computer, lock your screen when you step away. You don’t want passersby to get a glance — inadvertent or otherwise.
• Lock your screen by pressing the Windows and “L” keys simultaneously. Unlock your computer screen by pressing the Ctrl + Alt and Delete keys at the same time.

Making a commitment to lock your computer whenever you leave your workstation safeguards data against unauthorized disclosure or misuse that could adversely impact postal operations and finances.

And that’s smart business.

• 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.
