Public Database of Federal Employees: Duties, Pay, and Contractor Costs.
This act mandates the government to establish a searchable, public website detailing every federal employee, including their position title, job duties, location, and annual salary. Furthermore, an annual report must be published detailing the total number and cost of contract employees utilized by federal agencies.
