Career and non-career employees who want to volunteer to work in Puerto Rico must submit letters of intent no later than Oct. 20.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>USPS is accepting requests from employees who want to volunteer to work in Puerto Rico to help restore service following hurricanes Irma and Maria.<\/p>\n

If you wish to participate, you must submit a letter of intent no later than Friday, Oct. 20.<\/p>\n

Career and non-career employees are needed. Those selected will work in their assigned crafts. To cite two examples, letter carriers will carry mail, while mail handlers will support processing activities.<\/p>\n

The Postal Service won\u2019t pay travel, housing or per diem. You\u2019ll need to arrange your own accommodations with relatives who live in the area \u2014 and you\u2019ll need to state this in your letter.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll get your regular pay, plus overtime when applicable.<\/p>\n

Assignments will be made on a 30-day basis and evaluated at the end of each period to determine if the assignment should be renewed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not an assignment for everyone. But for some of you, it is an opportunity to extend your service in a place and at a time when it is needed,\u201d said Northeastern Area VP Ed Phelan, whose jurisdiction includes the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

More information, including instructions on submitting letters of intent, are available in a memo<\/a> posted below and on LiteBlue.
