Who To Pay & How Much
It's that time of year again. I had a few questions about tipping, so I decided to share what I found. This list is by no means complete. However, it should be a good guideline to get you started. If people work hard for you throughout the year, remember to share the love at holiday time.
| Holiday Tip Guide | |
| Maid | one week's pay. This is for maids whom you pay directly. If you use a service and never know who is coming out, don't tip at all. |
| Gardener | $20-50. |
| USPS Mail Carrier | Non-cash gifts with value up to $20. This is for mail carriers that you know and see regularly. Read more below. |

| While many Postal ServiceTM customers have traditionally thanked their mail carrier with gifts of cash during the holiday season, this practice puts our employees at risk of violating federal law. The Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch ("Standards"), specifies that Postal Service employees may not accept gifts from outside sources (including Postal Service customers) or gifts given to them because of their official positions. Postal Service employees are also prohibited from soliciting gifts from outside sources. For further information, please contact the U.S. Postal Service® Law Department's Ethics Helpline at 202-268-6346, or send an email message to ethics.help@usps.gov . |
