It is Postal Service policy to provide equal employment opportunities to qualified applicants with disabilities. The Postal Service accomplishes this through its competitive and noncompetitive hiring processes. A qualified individual with a disability is one who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the job in question without presenting a direct threat to the health and safety of the individual or others. The Postal Service requires the same performance, attendance, and standards of conduct from employees with disabilities as it does from other employees.
