Where’s WALDO Act

Key Points

• Would require the Office of Personnel Management to build a public, searchable website listing every federal civil service job and who holds it.
• The site would show each worker’s job title, job duties, agency, main work location, pay (including bonuses), and appointment date.
• The website would have to be up and running within 18 months after the bill becomes law, and then kept updated.
• Would also require a yearly public report counting federal contract workers and the total cost, broken down by agency.
• Supporters may say this increases transparency; critics may raise privacy and safety concerns for some federal workers.
