Official Time Reporting Act

This bill would require the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to send Congress a yearly report by March 31 on "official time," which is paid duty time federal employees spend doing union representation work instead of agency work. Each federal agency would have to send OPM its information by December 31 each year, and explain any increase in its official time rate from the year before. The report would include the hours of official time used, its cost in pay, benefits, and travel, union dues taken through agency payroll, and any government space or property given to unions for free or at a discount. OPM would post the report on its website and issue guidance to agencies within 180 days of the bill becoming law.
