Report Description:
Our objective was to assess the Postal Service’s management of penalty overtime. For this audit, we analyzed nationwide penalty overtime data during fiscal years (FYs) 2020 through 2022. The data included average penalty overtime per employee and the total penalty overtime hours used. We conducted site visits at 22 judgmentally selected facilities where we held interviews to identify underlying causes that contributed to penalty overtime usage at the facilities and the Postal Service as a whole. Additionally, we interviewed headquarters personnel regarding their responsibilities, processes, and procedures on the management of penalty overtime.
