Virtual Timecard

The Virtual Timecard is a new application coming on November 1st to USPS Lite Blue as an “Employee App – Quick Link” option.

It is designed to provide secure near real-time access to an employee’s own time clock entries and their accrued workhours as recorded in the Time and Attendance Collection System (TACS). The data in the Virtual Timecard is refreshed approximately every 5 minutes.

Time clock employees, including those who use an Electronic Badge Reader (EBR) to record their clock rings, will be able to view their clock rings, and accumulated workhours by workhour category, for the current pay period, every day, anytime, using their own computer or mobile device ( or tablet).

The Virtual Timecard application will also include a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section.
