Cash Gifts

Thanks, But No Thanks

A Postal Service employee cannot accept cash, checks, money orders, or credit card gift cards from an outside source, such as a Postal Service customer, a company doing business with the Postal Service, or a company seeking to do business with the Postal Service.
Never ever accept cash or cash equivalents as a gift from a customer or supplier.

Our customers, suppliers, and the public should know that they will be treated fairly and professionally no matter what. Accepting gifts – especially cash or cash equivalents – leaves the opposite impression. Declining inappropriate gifts is not only the law, it’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for more information about the ethics regulations addressing gifts.

Cough etiquette

Limit collateral germs.

Coughing and sneezing can spread colds — even before people realize they’re sick. Practice good cough etiquette. Move away from others before you cough or sneeze. Use a tissue or your elbow or upper sleeve to cover your mouth and nose. Wash or sanitize your hands afterward. If you know you have a cold, disinfect frequently touched surfaces to prevent the spread of germs.

And that’s smart safety.

Ready to weather the storm?

Be prepared for weather-related emergencies, including power outages. Stock food that needs no cooking or refrigeration, and keep stored water in clean containers. Make sure your cell phone is fully charged. Keep an up-to-date emergency kit with items such as battery-operated lights and radios, extra batteries, first-aid kit and extra medicine, and baby and pet supplies.

If you’re prepared, you’ll be more likely to stay safe and healthy during an emergency.

And that’s smart safety.
