Non-Essential Workers Transparency Act

This bill would require each federal executive agency to send a report to Congress and to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) within 30 days after a government funding lapse (shutdown) ends. The report would list the agency's total number of employees, including contract employees, its salary spending in the prior fiscal year, and how many employees were furloughed and not furloughed, along with the combined annual basic pay for each group. Reports must be unclassified but may include a classified annex. Congressional committees receiving the reports would post them online within 30 days, and OPM would combine all agency reports into one report and post it on its website within 60 days after the funding lapse ends.
