Bill overview
This bill, the Federal Employee Return to Work Act, limits annual pay increases for federal employees who work remotely at least one day a week. It specifically prohibits these employees from receiving adjustments based on the Employment Cost Index and locality pay differences. Instead, these employees will be paid at the standard rate for their grade and step based on the Rest of U.S. locality pay area. The bill aims to reduce potential disparities in pay between remote and in-office federal workers.
