Federal Employee Accountability: Banning Dual Jobs and Government Contracts
This law establishes strict rules for federal employment, generally prohibiting government officers and employees from holding more than one civil service position or entering into contracts with federal agencies simultaneously. The goal is to enhance accountability and prevent the misuse of public funds through double compensation. Citizens benefit from increased transparency regarding how taxpayer money is spent on federal salaries.
Key points
Federal employees cannot hold two civil service jobs at the same time or receive financial benefits from government contracts for property or services.
Knowingly violating these rules requires repayment of all improperly received funds with interest and may lead to criminal investigation.
Annual audits by the Inspector General are mandated to detect hidden instances of dual employment, including those involving telework and contractors, using cross-referenced payroll data.
