Posted by It’s all yours - eOPF: My official personnel folder
Where can employees go — anytime, anywhere — to look at their official records?
The Official Personnel Folder (OPF) contains documents, including appointment, compensation, benefits, administrative and payroll records. USPS may use these records to review employee qualifications, status, eligibility, rights and benefits. They’re also used to track length of service and other information USPS needs to provide personnel services.
Before 2008, employees had to meet with their district personnel offices to review their folders. Now, OPF documents are available online and have become “eOPFs.” Employees can go to LiteBlue at any time to review their files. Each eOPF is a secure and encrypted file, available only to employees by using their employee ID number and USPS PIN, and to HR professionals with an official need to view them.
USPS always has encouraged employees to check their records for accuracy. Employees should review their eOPFs to make sure documents are up-to-date. Accurate records will make processing personnel actions such as transfers, promotions or retirements easier. Employees who need to change, remove or add documents must complete a PS Form 8043 and submit it to their district HR Generalist.
Disciplinary documents only can be removed according to provisions of collective bargaining agreements, the ELM 650 appeals process or as a result of an EEO or Merit System Protection Board decision. Documents placed in an eOPF by another federal agency cannot be removed.
Employees who cannot access their eOPFs using LiteBlue should notify their area Human Resources analyst, district HR Local Services, or HQ Corporate Personnel.

eOPF is a good idea but many computers can’t use it. No Macs, no linux systems, only some Windows systems with certain “features” enabled. The same features that even Microsoft recommends DISABLING to improve security on the net. Why oh why couldn’t USPS just use industry standard, non-platform-specific software?
Where do the non-selected applicants go to find our information maintained by the Agency? Because we are not employees yet where do they keep the records we have submitted to them on us?

Diane – you would need to contact the official USPS with your question. Start by contacting the office where you worked and asked them your question. PEN
This is news for employees to rejoice over. I hope…
I know a racist, sexist, facist, pronoid of a station manager who brags and prides himself on firing employees. Considering this bastard pads employee files with fake discipline – LOW’s and suspensions that neither floor supervisors or the employees are aware of, how secure is this move?
We shall see.
Hey postal –
I separated from the USPS as of 09/18/2010. Can I still view my OPF? I’ve tried to log into liteblue using my EIN & password (which I’m sure I’m not getting wrong), but I’m not having any luck. Do you think it’s because I’m an ex-employee, or just because liteblue has issues.
Or is there another place to view it, other than liteblue? Thanks.
