Effective March 31, 2021, the Postal Service™ will revise the Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM), part 617, to update Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) program guidelines to reflect changes that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) made to regulations and ethics rules governing the CFC.
The update addresses significant changes to the CFC structure, including methods of collecting and mailing pledges; procedures that campaign workers must follow when managing, coordinating, and canvassing the campaign; and strategies for running a campaign under the new ethics rules and OPM regulations.
Although the Postal Service will not publish these revisions in the ELM until March 31, 2021, the updated guidelines are effective immediately.
The Postal Service will incorporate these revisions into the next edition of the online ELM, which is available on the PolicyNet website:
n Go to blue.usps.gov.
n In the left-hand column, click Essential Links, and then click PolicyNet.
n Go to the right-hand side under “Published Forms and Directives.”
n Click Manuals.
The direct URL for the Postal Service PolicyNet website is blue.usps.gov/cpim.
