USPS Reminds Employees About Limited Personal Use Of Postal Resources

Posted on by postal

Prohibitive use
Know the rules for email use

Postal Service resources should not be used to check personal email accounts (for example, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, Excite, MSN or other webmail programs). Other prohibited activities when using Postal Service email include, but are not limited to, sending or arranging to receive the following:

  • Information that violates state or federal laws or Postal Service regulations.
  • Information designated as sensitive-enhanced or sensitive information unless encrypted according to USPS standards.
  • Unsolicited commercial announcements or advertising material.
  • Any material that may defame, libel, abuse, embarrass, tarnish, present a bad image of, or portray in false light, the Postal Service, the recipient, the sender or any other person.
  • Pornographic, sexually explicit, or sexually oriented materials.
  • Racist, hate-based or offensive material.
  • Viruses or malicious code.
  • Chain letters, unauthorized mass mailings or any unauthorized request that asks the recipient to forward the message to other people.

Management at each Postal Service employment installation may permit employees to make limited personal use of USPS information technology, if that use has minimal effect on Postal Service resources. “Sending a brief email message” from a postal email account can be included in limited personal use; however, sending or receiving email through a personal email account is not permitted on postal equipment or networks.

For additional information, Handbook AS-805 is available on the Postal Service Policy Net website. Click on HBKs. Then, click on AS-805 and select Chapter 5.

  1. The only people needing this “reminder” are the lazy mgmt. scum, at all levels.

    Everyone else is actually working, instead of sitting behind a pc all day.

  2. Management employees are the only people who use USPS computers. Yes, and maybe if they were not surfing the web for non-work related things, they could be contacting local business to promote more USPS business. Like that will happen!! They need to keep adding more bar code scans to letter carrier routes: gotta’ discipline those carriers for missing scans-and if we keep changing their locations and adding more, we can!!!!!

  3. Might as well shut down the whole network.We can only do nothing for so long. Please let us on facebook and youtube.

  4. OH OH!!!! What about all those management types running their fantasy teams from the computers at the office??!!

    HMMMMMMMMMMMM???????
