COVID-19 vaccinations

USPS urges employees to review the information on their state and local public health websites, sign up for alerts and schedule a COVID-19 vaccination at the first available opportunity, if they choose.

Emergency Federal Employee Leave

Please note: After Sept. 30, 2021, Emergency Federal Employee Leave (EFEL) will no longer be available to Postal Service employees.

Effective March 12, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act provides employees with up to 600 hours of paid Emergency Federal Employee Leave (EFEL). The leave is available to employees who are unable to work due to one of eight qualifying reasons. This leave is available to employees beginning on March 12, 2021 and continuing through September 30, 2021—or until the funding established in the Emergency Federal Employee Leave Fund (Fund) for reimbursement is exhausted.
