Nepotism

• A Postal Service employee is prohibited from appointing, employing, promoting, or advancing a relative; or advocating the appointment, employment,
  promotion, advancement of a relative; or using his or her official position for the private gain of a relative.
• This means that a Postal Service employee should never be involved in a hiring decision, promotion decision, detail assignment decision, any decision
  resulting in the advancement of a relative, a transfer decision, change of domicile request, pay for performance review, or any decision that would result
  in a financial gain to a relative.

When you refrain from taking any action to advance or financially benefit your relative, you maintain a work environment free from favoritism allegations and
resentment. And you also enhance our reputation for trustworthiness and integrity.

That’s smart business.

Retirement Party Flyers

One out of every three retirement party flyers violates the ethics regulations.

Before you post it, run it by the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov). There’s no reason not to do it.

Getting it right the first time saves time and effort.

And that’s smart business.
