Gifts Between Employees

Generally, an employee may not give a gift to a higher-paid employee.

However, if your subordinate employee makes more or less money than you, you may still give your subordinate employee a gift of any amount on any occasion.

Gifts to subordinates, regardless of pay, are always ok, but remember to avoid favoritism or the appearance of favoritism.

And that’s smart business.

Are You Informed?

Informed Delivery^® is an exciting new feature of mail delivery that allows customers to preview the mailpieces coming to their mailboxes using the images generated by mail-processing equipment. The best way to promote this innovative feature is to use it yourself and see all the wonderful ways it can enhance your mail-delivery experience. Once you see the value of knowing what mailpieces you can expect to find in your mailbox, you can recommend the feature to friends and family too!

Participation is voluntary, but interested employees and their friends and family can sign up at informeddelivery.usps.com.

Promoting our products by using them ourselves increases the public’s confidence in our services.

And that’s smart business.
