Are USPS transitional employees issued uniforms?

It is entirely up to the discretion of the area manager and each stations manager or postmaster to decide whether to issue uniforms to Transitional Employees (TE's). If they decide to do so the TE gets an "allowance" that can be spent with any approved USPS uniform supply company. The amount is based upon the time the TE has worked for the post office. For each quarter (90 days) the TE will be issued an allowance of $74.50.

Companies like Postal Uniform Discounters stock a full line of approved USPS uniforms and will provide uniforms to TE's as long as the TE has a USPS authorization letter for the uniforms.
