## Summary

**Brings sharper transparency and a clear pay framework to VA senior executives.** This bill would require new disclosures about performance awards and create rules for how Senior Executive Service pay is set at the Department of Veterans Affairs. - Senior VA leaders would face new public reporting. Annual performance-award reports must add two items: which appropriations accounts paid each award and each recipient's annual basic rate of pay. - Pay for VA senior executive jobs would be tied to the federal Senior Executive Service pay structure in Title 5. The Secretary would set the annual basic pay for each VA senior executive position within those SES pay ranges and aggregate limits. - Rules for moves and hires would be clearer. A career appointee transferring into a VA senior post would receive the pay for that position consistent with their performance and pay level under Title 5. An employee shifting between VA senior posts would receive the new position’s established pay on the first pay period after starting, with limited Secretary adjustments allowed under Title 5.
