§5403 — Title 5 Government Organization and Employees | U.S. Code

Summary

Creates a Human Capital Performance Fund run by the Office. Agencies must send the plan described in section 5406 and get the Office’s approval before they can get money from the Fund. After taking out the training set-aside under section 5408, 90% of the remaining money can be split among agencies based on their share of Executive branch payroll, but no agency can get more than its payroll share. Any unpaid shares join a 10% pool that the Office gives to agencies with exceptionally high-quality plans as extra money. Agencies must give the Office the payroll data it needs to figure those shares.
