• It’s unlawful for any postal employee to become interested in any contract for carrying the mail, or to act as an agent — with or without pay — for any contractor or person offering to become a contractor in any business before the Postal Service.

Avoiding conflicting outside employment preserves the Postal Service’s reputation as being fair and honest.

And that’s smart business.

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