Returning SBA to Main Street Act

SBA headquarters staff moves and limits

This bill would require the SBA to move at least 30% of its headquarters staff outside the Washington, DC area if the Administrator finds it will cut federal costs. For each moved employee, pay would be recalculated using the new location's pay locality and full-time telework would be barred. Employees with a full-time telework ADA accommodation would not be moved but would still count toward the 30%. The SBA would must notify eligible employees before a report to Congress, file a report within 180 days, give relocation notices 60–90 days after the report, and make moves effective 90 days after notice. Remaining full-time Washington-area teleworkers who are not moved would lose full-time telework 180 days after the report. The bill would bar relocation incentive pay when an employee's official worksite changes from home to SBA headquarters. It would also require cutting headquarters office space by at least 30%, starting within 180 days and finished within two years. Finally, the bill would say it supersedes conflicting laws or union agreements and would not create a private right to sue under the Act.
