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.

Special Access

When you get this question, stop and think before you act.

Using your postal contacts or position to help relative or friend may be a misuse of your position.

If you would provide the help for anyone, it’s probably fine.

But, if you are doing it because of the person asking for the favor, you are providing special access and misusing your position.

Providing a level playing field for all of customers and suppliers enhances Postal Service’s reputation for fairness and honesty in business.

And that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for more guidance.
