Once corporate objectives are established, the Postal Service sets improvement goals and assigns accountability for achieving them down to the area, district, unit and individual levels. Budgets are developed based on the corporate-wide budget.

Tailoring objectives to specific functions ensures that managers are accountable for results within their spans of control. Any adjustments to non-bargaining unit employees’ salaries are based on a pay-for-performance system that recognizes how their specific performance contributed to objectives. Unlike most government agencies that provide automatic pay increases, cost-of-living adjustments and locality pay, the Postal Service’s pay-for-performance system is the sole source of pay adjustments for non-bargaining unit employees.

(Note: due to our current financial condition, these adjustments have been suspended.)
