Former Employees
Post-Employment Ethics Restrictions
The post-employment ethics statute, 18 U.S.C. § 207, applies to a former postal employee’s communications with the Postal Service or the Federal government on behalf of the former postal employee’s private sector employer. Former postal employees should contact the Ethics and Legal Compliance team for advice before communicating or otherwise interacting with the USPS or the federal government on behalf of a new employer, because a criminal law could be implicated.
