Federal Hiring and Salary Freeze Act
This act imposes a one-year freeze on hiring and salary increases for most federal agencies. Additionally, it mandates a 5% reduction in federal employee numbers over three years. This could impact the availability of public services and processing times for government matters.
Key points
For one year, federal agencies cannot increase staff numbers or salaries, with exceptions for law enforcement, public safety, and national security.
Federal employee numbers are mandated to decrease by 2% within two years and 5% within three years from current levels.
These changes may lead to slower government operations and potentially reduced public services.
