This restriction applies only to appointments made from external recruitment sources.

It is the policy of the Postal Service not to discriminate in personnel decisions on the basis of (1) race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability as provided by law, or (2) other nonmeritorious factors such as political affiliation, marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. See Handbook EL-312, Chapter 5, for more information.

Applicants Separated for Cause
Prior approval of the district manager of Human Resources, the area manager of Human Resources, or the vice president of Employee Resource Management must be obtained before employing any former postal or federal employee who was removed from the Postal Service or other federal employment for cause or who resigned after being notified that charges proposing removal would be, or had been, issued.
