The No Bonuses for Bad Service Act would withhold pay for the postmaster general unless on-time delivery hits 95%
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is proposing legislation that would withhold bonuses for U.S. Postal Service executives, citing years of staggering financial losses for the agency and its overall on-time delivery record.
Hawley, who has launched an investigation into the Postal Service over its service record, will name the legislation the No Bonuses for Bad Service Act, Fox News Digital has learned.
The bill would prohibit the USPS Board of Governors from approving any additional compensation for the postmaster general and deputy postmaster general for a fiscal year in which the agency doesn’t meet or exceed an on-time delivery rate of 95% for all mail products.
“While Missourians don’t receive their mail on time, the Postmaster General receives a hefty bonus each year,” Hawley wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital. “I am introducing the No Bonuses for Bad Service Act to ensure postal service leadership isn’t receiving bonuses while Americans’ mail goes undelivered. It’s time for the Postmaster General to do his job and put Americans first.”
