Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar the Postal Service Board of Governors from giving the Postmaster General any bonus, incentive award, retention payment, or other performance-based pay for a year if, in the year before, the Postal Service spent more than it earned, missed nationwide service targets, had certain problems in its financial audit, or failed to file a required report. The Postmaster General would have to send Congress a yearly report within 30 days after each fiscal year ends. The report would list bonuses and similar pay given to senior Postal Service executives, the measures used to justify that pay, the agency's finances, and national and district service data. The Postal Service Inspector General would review the report and determine whether the Postal Service followed these rules.
