|
A National Day of Observance has been declared to honor the death of former President, Jimmy Carter.
The Postal Service will suspend regular mail deliveries, retail services and administrative office activity on Thursday, January 9, 2025. There will be limited package delivery service on January 9 to ensure the organization does not experience any impacts to its package delivery operations that may negatively affect customers or business partners.
All Postal Service facilities-including Headquarters in Washington, DC, and area and district administrative offices-are included in the National Day of Observance. Local managers will advise employees on staffing levels to maintain operations and prepare for the resumption of regular activities Friday, January 10.
Pay and leave administration for the National Day of Observance is governed by section 519.4 of the Employee and Labor Relations Manual and provisions of the applicable memorandums of understanding between the Postal Service and its unions (attached). Mail Handler Associates (MHAs), City Carrier Assistants (CCAs), and Postal Support Employees (PSEs), will receive pay for actual work hours performed on the National Day of Observance and will not receive Administrative Leave.
USPS facilities are required to fly the flag at half-staff through sunset Wednesday, January 29, to honor President Carter, who died on December 29 at age 100.
