The Postal Service is reminding employees of their duty to properly use USPS property.
Voyager cards can only be used to buy fuel for a USPS vehicle — and, with permission, to pay for repairs or towing. Using a Voyager card to pay for gas for a personal vehicle or to pay for drinks and snacks is a crime.
Misusing a Voyager card can result in garnished wages, fines, firing or jail time. The Postal Service and the USPS Office of Inspector General monitor and audit the use of Voyager cards, and violators are routinely caught.
Travel cards cannot be used for personal expenses. Keeping travel cards separate from personal credit cards will avoid accidental mix-ups.
Employee identification badges are USPS property and should never be altered in any way or used by anyone other than the proper person.
Borrowing money from a cash drawer is a misuse of Postal Service funds, even if an employee intends to repay it.
USPS-issued electronic devices should only be used for authorized purposes. Employees can use these devices for limited personal reasons, such as scheduling a medical appointment or printing a two-page document.
Additionally, Postal Service devices cannot be used for gambling, running an outside business, partisan political activities or creating or sharing sexual content.
Employees with questions can email the USPS Ethics Office or call 202-268-6346.
