A follow-up audit of the Atlanta Regional Processing and Distribution Center shows $16.1 million in questioned costs, including $8 million in unauthorized overtime, a report said.
The audit released this week from the Office of Inspector General of the United States Postal Service follows a previous report that showed the center had challenges that were adding to labor and transportation costs. This week’s audit looked at operations in December and March 2025 in a new Atlanta processing center that first opened last year.
The audit shows the expected savings anticipated by the move to the new center will not be realized.
