Pay for Performance

The Postal Service’s Pay-for-Performance (PFP) program continued to drive organizational achievement. Unlike most government agencies that provide regular, across-the-board pay increases, PFP is the sole source of annual pay adjustments for non-bargaining unit employees.

PFP has been cited by several independent entities as a model for other agencies to emulate.
