Employee Attendance

Keep Track

Pay attention to employee attendance and properly document all absences.
Employees should not get paid for working, unless they’re actually working.

It’s about preventing time and attendance fraud.

And that’s smart business.

Find more information about time and attendance tools at Handbook F-21.

Gifts Between Employees II

Give Goodwill and Good Wishes

When a coworker has an upcoming birthday to celebrate, consider passing a cake and a card, but not the hat.
The ethics regulations allow contributions up to $10 for food and refreshments only for these events. Over the course of a year, however, many small contributions can mean a lot of money.

Show your coworkers you care without costing your coworkers their hard earned money.

This will boost morale – and that’s smart business.

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

Wash those germs right out of your life.

Prevent the spread of disease by washing your hands frequently or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. There’s a technique to proper hand washing. Wet your hands with clean running water and apply soap. Lather and scrub well for at least 20 seconds. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean hands can help keep you healthier and prevent you from spreading germs to others.

And that’s smart safety!
