AI Summary
This bill would limit pay increases for many federal workers who telework. If an employee teleworks at least one day a week (or 20% of their schedule), they would not get the usual yearly raise that most federal workers receive. They would also be paid using the “Rest of U.S.” pay area, instead of a higher local pay area like Washington, DC. That “Rest of U.S.” rate would not get locality-based increases while they are covered by this rule.
The change would start on the first day of the first full federal fiscal year after the bill becomes law.
