| Employee ID Number Replaces SSN for PostalEASE | |
|
From the USPS: "Starting September 29, 2004, you will replace your SSN with your Employee ID when logging into the PostalEASE employee self-service system on the Web or when you call PostalEASE toll-free. You will need to enter both your Employee ID -- all 8 digits even if it begins with a zero -- and your USPS Personal Identification Number (PIN) to access PostalEASE. (Your USPS PIN is not changing.) This change helps safeguard your SSN by reducing its exposure on printed documents and other media. This improves the protection of your privacy and is in keeping with the Privacy Act. It is also in keeping with best industry practices, as companies are moving away from using SSNs as identifiers for customers and employees. Human Resources created a
unique 8-digit Employee ID for every employee. Since 2003 this number has
been printed on earnings statements. So if you want to use PostalEASE and
you can't remember your Employee ID, it's easy to find -- just take a look
at the top of your earnings statement -- it's the 8-digit number printed
just above the words Employee ID." |
