Overview

The Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990 (FEPCA) contained a variety of pay authorities to assist managers and supervisors in recruiting, relocating, and retaining highly qualified employees. Section 101(a) of the Federal Workforce Flexibility Act of 2004 provides Agency managers and supervisors with additional flexibility to help recruit and retain highly qualified employees to help better meet USAID’s strategic human capital needs.
