This question is about what a postal carrier does.

What hours do postal workers work?

By Zippia Team - Nov. 16, 2022

Most postal workers work six shifts, working six hours during regular business hours. The exact hours for postal workers vary depending on location. Some locations even allow their mail carriers to choose their hours, as long as they complete their daily route.

Postal workers work at least 40 hours a week. Although some postal workers work those 40 hours over five days, it is more common for postal workers to work at least one weekend day as well, making the daily hours shorter but with one additional shift.
