How to Resign From the Post Office?
Employees wishing to resign from the post office are required to complete the USPS resignation form (PS Form 2574) and submit it to the immediate supervisor or manager in two weeks before quitting the employment. The information provided in the form is used to finalize the record of employment with the USPS.
If the resignation application was submitted after the employee was proposed for termination, a change to lower grade or had received written notice of the decision to separate them, it must still be accepted.
If the employee is resigning from the USPS for military service and does not intend to return to USPS, they should be properly informed about their restoration rights and benefits. Only Human Resources can accept the resignation applications for military service and provide the necessary information to the employee.
If the employee changed their mind after submitting the form and wants to withdraw it, a written withdrawal request must be submitted to the Human Resources Shared Service Center (HRSSC) by mail, email, or fax. The withdrawal request must be made before the closest business day to the resignation effective date.
