Federal Managers Set Agenda at Meeting Today

The Federal Managers Association is holding its national convention this week, with sessions at the Doubletree Hotel in Arlington, Va. This morning, the managers heard from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

On Wednesday, delegates to the convention will converge on Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and their staffs. Issues on the FMA's proposed legislative agenda, include:

-- Allowing workers under the Federal Employees Retirement System to count unused sick time toward retirement

--Changing the General Schedule pay system so that high level GS employees are not subject to a pay cap.

--Providing tax-free student loan repayments to federal employees

--Allowing federal retirees to return to government service part time without penalizing their pension

--Increasing the government's share of the health insurance premiums.
