COVID–19 Federal Employee Reinstatement Act

This bill provides relief for federal employees who were separated from their positions between September 9, 2021, and January 24, 2022, due to vaccination requirements implemented under Executive Order 14043. Affected employees can choose between reinstatement to their previous position with back pay or compensation equal to what they would have earned during their separation period. The bill includes detailed provisions for calculating compensation amounts based on previous pay rates and handling retirement benefits, with employees required to submit confirmation of their separation within 90 days of receiving notice. Employees who select reinstatement must be appointed without regard to standard competitive service hiring rules.
