1. Call the USPS HR Services Number:
This is the most common and recommended method for calling out sick at USPS.
- Dial the toll-free number: 1-877-477-3273.
- Follow the prompts on the automated system.
- You’ll typically be asked to enter your Employee Identification Number (EIN) and select the option for reporting unscheduled leave.
- Provide details about your absence, including the start and end dates (if known).
- The system will likely provide you with a confirmation number. Record or retain this number for your records.
2. Contact Your Supervisor Directly:
- In some instances, depending on your work location or specific circumstances, contacting your supervisor directly might be preferred. This approach is particularly relevant if you have limited phone access or face extenuating circumstances requiring explanation.
- When contacting your supervisor, inform them clearly about your illness and your inability to come to work.
- If possible, follow up with a confirmation email outlining the details of your absence.

Additional Considerations:
- Timely Notification: It’s crucial to notify your supervisor or the HR Services number as soon as possible when you’re unable to come to work due to illness. This allows them to make necessary arrangements for your absence.
- Check Local Procedures: While these methods are widely used, it’s always recommended to consult with your local HR department or supervisor to confirm the preferred protocol for reporting unscheduled leave in your specific USPS district. This could involve any slight variations in phone numbers or additional steps required.
- LiteBlue’s Role (Optional): While LiteBlue doesn’t directly facilitate call-outs, you might be able to access company policies related to leave of absence through the platform’s resources section (may vary by district).
