Bill 118 s 5479, also known as the Performance-Based Pay Pilot Program Act, is a proposed legislation that aims to create a 5-year pilot program to establish a performance-based pay structure for certain Federal employees. The main goal of this program is to improve productivity, accountability, and employee satisfaction within the public service sector.

Under this bill, participating Federal employees would be evaluated based on their performance and productivity levels, rather than receiving standard pay raises or promotions based solely on tenure. This would incentivize employees to work harder and more efficiently, as their compensation would be directly tied to their performance.

The pilot program would be implemented for a period of 5 years to allow for a thorough evaluation of its effectiveness. The results of the program would be closely monitored to determine if it has successfully enhanced productivity, accountability, and employee satisfaction within the Federal workforce. Overall, the Performance-Based Pay Pilot Program Act aims to modernize the Federal pay structure and create a more merit-based system that rewards employees for their hard work and dedication. It is intended to bring about positive changes in the public service sector and improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Federal government.

Not a fan of it. Did you know that it includes a provision for mandatory drug testing for all federal employees?
