No Bonuses for Bad Service Act
The No Bonuses for Bad Service Act prevents the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General from receiving extra pay if the Postal Service fails to meet its on-time delivery goals. Specifically, these leaders would not get bonuses, awards, or any compensation above their basic salary in any year where the service does not achieve at least 95 percent on-time delivery for its main product categories. The law also requires the Postal Regulatory Commission to receive a report related to these bonus restrictions. This measure directly impacts the top executives of the United States Postal Service by linking their potential financial rewards to performance metrics.
