Bill overview
This bill, the Official Time Reporting Act, requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to annually report to Congress on the use of ‘official time’ by federal employees. Official time is defined as time spent by employees on non-agency business while on duty, often related to labor relations. The report will detail the amount of official time granted, its impact on agency operations, and how it’s being used, including associated costs. This aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding the use of taxpayer dollars for employee activities.
