(b) Section 3544(b) of title 39, United States Code, is amended to read as follows: “(b) The basic salary of postmasters in fourth-class post offices shall be readjusted for changes in gross receipts at the start of the first pay period after the beginning of each fiscal year. When a post office is restored to a gross receipts category held by it prior to relegation to a lower gross receipts category, the postmaster’s basic salary may be adjusted to the highest salary step held by him when the post office was in the higher gross receipts category. In all other cases, in adjusting a postmaster’s basic salary under this section, the basic salary shall be fixed at the lowest step which is higher than the basic salary received by the postmaster at the end of the preceding fiscal year. If there is no such step the basic salary shall be fixed at the highest step for the adjusted gross receipts of the office. 76 Stat. 854Each increase in basic salary because of change in gross receipts shall be deemed the equivalent of a step-increase under section 3552 of this title and the waiting period, for purposes of advancement to the next step, shall begin on the date of adjustment.”
