The "No Bonuses for Bad Service Act" would bar the Postal Service's governing board from approving bonuses or extra pay for the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General in years when on-time delivery falls below 95 percent for major mail categories. It also requires an existing financial report to be shared with the Postal Regulatory Commission for added oversight.
The bill directly affects the Postmaster General, Deputy Postmaster General, and the Postal Service's Board of Governors, which sets executive pay. Everyday Americans who rely on mail delivery are indirectly affected.
The measure creates a financial consequence for postal leadership tied to delivery performance, without altering mail rates, services, or operations directly.
