The Postal Service™ supports the employment of U.S. military veterans who have chosen to commence or resume a civilian career with the Postal Service following their military service. Consistent with the requirements of the Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act of 2015, the Postal Service allows any employee who meets the eligibility requirements to take a specifically designated type of leave, without loss or reduction in pay, for undergoing medical treatment for a service-related disability.
The Postal Service also recognizes the value that veterans add to the workforce. Consequently, it has determined that is both appropriate and desirable for the Postal Service to grant additional amounts of leave for the purpose of medical treatment as expressed in the Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act of 2015. Therefore, in addition to the statutorily mandated leave, the Postal Service grants additional Wounded Warriors Leave as described herein.
