AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Common Sense in Compensation Act," aims to limit extra payments to federal employees in executive agencies for fiscal years 2013, 2014, and 2015. It prohibits any discretionary monetary payment, which includes awards, other monetary payments, and step-increases (automatic pay raises), if that payment would cause an employee's total compensation—their basic pay plus these extra payments—to exceed 105% of their basic pay alone, before any step-increases are applied. This measure seeks to control the overall compensation of federal workers during the specified fiscal periods.
