Federal Employee Performance and Accountability Act of 2024

HR 10411 establishes a 5-year pilot program for federal employees in mid-to-senior positions (GS-11 through GS-15 or higher) with measurable work duties. The bill creates a tiered pay system where employees exceeding performance metrics (Tier 1) may receive up to a 10% salary increase, those meeting standards (Tier 2) get no change, and those falling short (Tier 3) face a 10% pay reduction plus required training. Participating agencies must set annual productivity, quality, and timeliness metrics for employees, with agency heads able to opt out for national security reasons. The program requires annual reports on productivity gains, cost savings, and employee satisfaction, using existing agency funds without new appropriations.
