Unauthorized Overtime

Exempt or Non-Exempt?

Know who’s a non-exempt employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay if they work overtime.
Unauthorized overtime creates liability for the Postal Service.
Use of portable electronics after normal work hours can constitute overtime work.

Reducing overtime saves the Postal Service money. And that’s smart business.

Learn more about FLSA nonexempt employees at Handbook F-21 Time & Attendance.

Active shooter

What should you do?

The definition of an “active shooter” is “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a conﬁned and populated area.” In most cases, active shooters use firearms and victims are chosen at random. The shooter is intent on killing as many people as possible. Active shooter situations are unpredictable, evolve quickly and are often over within 10 to 15 minutes.

Including an active shooter plan in your emergency action plan and conducting drills will keep employees safe and minimize the loss of life.

And that’s smart safety!
