Daily printout: Sept. 29

The Postal Service will release its latest Hanukkah stamp on Tuesday, Sept. 29.

It features a colorful dreidel and is the ninth design in the series.

Hanukkah is an eight-night Jewish holiday observed by millions in the United States and worldwide. The holiday commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the second century B.C. and the miracle of oil that burned for eight days.

Also known as the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah includes games, music and special foods.

A dreidel is a four-sided spinning top traditionally used in holiday games. The name comes from a Yiddish word meaning “to turn.” The sides display the Hebrew letters: nun, gimel, heh and shin — short for “Nes gadol haya sham” which translates to “A great miracle happened there.” In Israel, shin is replaced with peh, meaning “here.”

The stamp art features a digital illustration of a dark blue dreidel with rust-colored Hebrew letters on a turquoise background, framed by floral elements.

Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, designed the stamp with original art by Lisa Perrin.

This year, Hanukkah begins at sundown on Friday, Dec. 4, and concludes at sundown on Saturday, Dec. 12.

A dedication ceremony will be held at the Touro Synagogue in New Orleans.

The Forever stamp will be available in panes of 20 at Post Offices and on usps.com.

The Postal Service is reminding employees and contractors of the guidelines associated with romance in the workplace.

A direct or indirect reporting relationship between two employees who are dating raises ethical concerns because employees should not use their positions for private gain.

Higher-level employees should not make decisions that financially benefit a lower-level romantic partner. This includes approving promotions, detail assignments, overtime and leave requests, as well as weighing in on disciplinary cases.

Mixing romance with direct or indirect reporting structures can create perceptions of unfair treatment, and it can negatively affect the morale of colleagues who do not have a similar relationship with the higher-level employee. Additionally, it can lead to allegations of sexual harassment or discrimination.

Employees should notify their local management or Human Resources if they are currently dating or prospectively going to date someone in their direct or indirect line of reporting. Specifically, field employees should contact the Field Human Resources manager, while headquarters and headquarters-affiliated employees should contact the Human Resources manager.

If managers discover such a romantic relationship, they should consult with the appropriate Human Resources officials.

Employees with questions should email the USPS Ethics Office or call 202-268-6346.
