Government Executive: A conservative lawmaker introduced legislation this week to expedite the disciplinary process throughout the federal government, allowing agency heads to more quickly fire, demote or cut the pay of their employees.
The 2017 Federal Employees Accountability Act, introduced by Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., would limit the time federal employees have to appeal a negative personnel action and restrict the number of appeals they could file to just one. Employees would not receive any pay or benefits throughout the appeal process. The measure would enable agency heads to immediately fire employees, move them to a lower General Schedule grade or reduce their pay.
