Summary

Government Employee Accountability Act - Sets forth guidelines for granting administrative leave to career employees of the Senior Executive Service (SES). Defines "administrative leave" as an absence from duty administratively authorized, for disciplinary reasons, of a period greater than 13 days and less than 91 days. Authorizes the head of a federal agency to: (1) place an SES employee on administrative leave, without loss of pay and without charge to annual or sick leave, only for misappropriation of funds, misconduct, neglect of duty, and malfeasance; or (2) place such employee on leave without pay if such employee's conduct is determined to be serious or flagrant. Requires an agency head to periodically review the investigation into the conduct of an SES employee placed on administrative leave and take certain actions with respect to such employee at the end of a period of administrative leave, including removal, suspension without pay, or reinstatement to duty. Grants an employee placed on administrative leave certain rights, including the right to answer charges, to be represented by an attorney, and to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB).
