Performance Pay: 5-Year Pilot Program for Federal Employees.

This Act establishes a 5-year pilot program changing how certain federal employees who deliver public services are compensated. Instead of automatic raises, their salaries will depend on annual evaluations of productivity, quality, and timeliness. The goal is to increase efficiency and accountability in government agencies, potentially leading to faster and better service for citizens.
Key points
Implementation of a performance-based pay system for 1% to 10% of higher-level federal staff (GS-11 to GS-15 and senior positions).
Employees who significantly exceed expectations may receive a salary increase of up to 10% plus additional benefits (e.g., flexible work hours).
Employees who fail to meet expectations will face a 10% salary reduction and must receive mandatory remedial training.
The program replaces traditional pay adjustments and bonuses derived from existing federal regulations (Title 5).
