The Postal Service is reemphasizing the importance of good work attendance in a new informational campaign.<\/p>\n

The campaign centers on this message: While it is vitally important for employees to stay home when they are ill, it is equally important \u2014 for the organization\u2019s success \u2014 to have employees report on time for their assigned duties when they are able to work.<\/p>\n

Regular attendance is critical to the Postal Service\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn every community across the nation, our customers count on us \u2014 as part of the nation\u2019s critical infrastructure \u2014 to accept, process and deliver mail and packages for them. Employees who are able to work have a responsibility to help us continue to provide the public with the level and quality of service they expect,\u201d said Simon Storey, the organization\u2019s human resources vice president.<\/p>\n

The campaign will remind employees who are able to work that absences must align with the policies outlined in the Employee and Labor Relations Manual<\/span><\/a> (ELM), Handbook F-21<\/span><\/a> and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Under these policies, employees are required to be regular in attendance. Failure to be regular in attendance impedes the Postal Service\u2019s ability to provide quality service to its customers.<\/p>\n

Managers and supervisors are encouraged to review attendance and leave-related policies in the ELM and relevant handbooks and manuals and become familiar with them.<\/p>\n

Additionally, managers and supervisors are expected to conduct regular attendance reviews and to manage unscheduled absences.<\/p>\n

Online training courses and study guides related to attendance management \u2014 including the Time and Attendance Collection System \u2014 can be found through the HERO platform and the Rural Delivery website. All training is available for immediate access.<\/p>\n

Except for courses taken solely for self-development, nonexempt employees may only complete HERO training courses during authorized work hours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
