Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Postal Service Merit Program

Should Provide More Incentive

or Improving Performance


The Postal Service pioneered merit pay in the
ederal Government, However, weaknesses in
its administration have affected the program's
credibility with employees and thus its effect-
ieness as a motivator of improved perform-
nce.

Developing a sound merit program requires
me and resources. In the Postal Service's
rogram, GAO found that

      --performance evaluations have not
      always been accurate and fair as-
      sessments of employee performance,
      and
      --it has not been as effective as possible
      in motivating improved performance.

 1he Postal Service's experiences should be
 helpful to Federal agencies as they develop and
 administer their own merit programs under
 civil service reform.
