Federal Employee Performance and Accountability Act of 2025
This bill establishes a 5-year pilot program to create a performance-based pay system for certain federal employees. It affects senior federal workers (GS-11 to GS-15 or higher roles with measurable work, like managers, IT specialists, or customer service roles) at 1-10% of eligible employees per agency. Key provisions include tiered pay adjustments: employees exceeding goals get a 15% raise, those meeting goals see no change, and those falling short face a 15% pay cut plus mandatory training. Agencies must report annual productivity data and outcomes, with all implementation using existing agency funds.
