PERFORM Act

The PERFORM Act restricts the Postmaster General from receiving bonuses or performance-based pay if the Postal Service runs a financial deficit, misses service targets, or fails to pass its annual audit. To enforce this, the law requires the Postmaster General to submit an annual report to Congress detailing all executive compensation, the metrics used to justify those payments, and the agency's financial and service performance data. Additionally, the Postal Service Inspector General must review these reports to ensure compliance with the new restrictions. These measures directly affect the compensation of senior Postal Service leadership and increase transparency regarding the agency's financial and operational results.
