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.
Key points
For one year, federal agencies cannot hire new employees, unless it's critical for law enforcement, public safety, or national security.
Federal employee salaries will be frozen at their current levels for one year, with no increases allowed.
Within two years, federal employee numbers must decrease by 2%, and by 5% within three years, compared to current levels.
