Federal Employee Pay Overhaul: Performance-Based Salaries and Accountability Pilot.
This Act establishes a 5-year pilot program linking the salaries of certain federal employees directly to their job performance metrics. The goal is to boost government efficiency and accountability, potentially leading to faster and higher-quality public services for citizens. Employees significantly exceeding expectations receive a 15% pay raise, while those falling short face a 15% reduction and mandatory training.
Key points
A 5-year pilot program introduces performance-based pay for selected federal employees (GS-11 and above) in roles like IT, policy analysis, and customer service.
Pay adjustments replace standard seniority-based raises and are determined by annual evaluations focused on productivity, quality, and timeliness.
Top performers (exceeding expectations) receive a 15% salary increase, bonuses, and non-monetary perks like flexible work options.
Underperforming employees face a 15% pay cut but must be provided with training and resources to improve their results.
