Plain-English summary
Federal Workforce Restructuring Act of 1994 - Authorizes temporary "buy-out" programs for encouraging selected groups of employees in the executive and judicial branches (except employees of the Department of Defense or the Central Intelligence Agency) to separate from Government service, generally by January 1, 1995, by offering them lump-sum payments in order to avoid or minimize reductions in force (RIFs). Requires: (1) such payments (the lesser of $25,000 or the amount of the employee's severance pay) to be paid from amounts available for the employee's pay, and to be fully repaid if the employee rejoins the Federal Government within five years of separation; (2) the elimination of one position for each one vacated by reason of a separation payment; (3) the funds appropriated for such positions to be used only for authorized separation costs; and (4) participating Federal agencies to pay a specified contribution to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund based on the final rate of basic pay of each employee who retires early.
Sets annual limitations on the total number of full-time equivalent executive agency positions each fiscal year through FY 1999, subject to waiver under certain conditions, such as war or a life-threatening emergency. Prohibits further agency hiring in cases of noncompliance with such limitations, except with respect to those positions that the President determines are critical to the agency's mission or efficiency, in which case the overall limitations established above still apply.
