Non-Essential Workers Transparency Act

This bill would require each federal Executive agency to send a report to Congress within 30 days after a lapse in funding (a government shutdown) ends. The report would list the agency's total number of employees, including contract employees, its salary spending for the prior fiscal year, how many employees were furloughed and how many were not, and the combined annual basic pay of each group. Reports would be unclassified but could include a classified annex, and the receiving congressional committees would post them on their websites within 30 days. The Congressional Budget Office would also have to publish a report on the shutdown's effects on the U.S. economy within 30 days after it ends.
