Federal Hiring and Salary Freeze Act
This act imposes a one-year freeze on federal agency hiring and salary increases. This means most agencies cannot increase their staff numbers, and current federal employee salaries will remain unchanged. Additionally, the total number of federal employees is mandated to decrease by 5% over three years.
