The Federal Employee Performance and Accountability Act of 2025 aims to create a pilot program that introduces a performance-based pay system for certain federal employees. The main goals are to improve productivity, accountability, and job satisfaction among public service workers. The key provisions of this act include establishing a five-year pilot program where eligible federal employees, specifically those in higher-level positions (GS-11 to GS-15 or senior-level roles), can participate. Each participating agency must include between 1% and 10% of its eligible employees in the program.
