USPS Handbooks and Manuals

Cautions on the use of USPS publications

NALC contract enforcers know that portions of USPS handbooks, manuals and other regulations that directly relate to wages, hours or working conditions are effectively incorporated into the National Agreement through Article 19. NALC has obtained electronic versions of important USPS manuals and handbooks directly from Postal Service headquarters. In addition, USPS has made certain publications available online.

However:

Check for the latest issue. The Postal Service updates its various manuals and handbooks according to different schedules. To see if you have the current edition of a particular publication, click here to review Publication 223, Directives and Forms Catalog(June 2020).
Check below for selected USPS publications that NALC has chosen to make publicly available. They include the M-39, M-41, Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM),Administrative Support Manual (ASM), Postal Operations Manual (POM), as well as a selection of publications, management instructions, and a wide selection of handbooks, manuals and other documents.
Some provisions may be under NALC challenge. Any of the USPS handbooks, manuals or publications provided on this site or available on the web may be under an NALC challenge in the grievance procedure. NALC’s distribution of or links to these materials is not in any way an admission that they are contractually sound or otherwise free from challenge. Check with your NALC branch officers or national business agent about the validity of a particular publication or provision.
Some items may not be covered by Article 19. Some handbook and manual provisions—for example, much of the M-39, M-41 and ELM—are enforceable as part of the contract under Article 19. However, certain other USPS publications may not be covered by Article 19.

Most materials are in PDF format, although some are compressed archives (commonly called “zip files”) containing multiple documents.
