GAO Human Capital Reform Act of 2003

Summary

GAO Human Capital Reform Act of 2003 - Amends Federal law to make permanent: (1) the entitlement of certain General Accounting Office (GAO) officers and employees who separate from service voluntarily to annuities under the Civil Service Retirement System or the Federal Employees' Retirement System; and (2) authority of the Comptroller General to provide voluntary separation incentive payments to GAO employees. Authorizes the Comptroller General, under specified conditions, to adjust annually the basic rates of GAO officers and employees whose performance is at a satisfactory level. Provides the same authority under the same conditions with respect to Senior Executive Service officers and employees. (Current law permitted such adjustments only at the same time and to the same extent as basic pay rates of the General Schedule were adjusted). Requires the Comptroller General to prescribe regulations under which a GAO: (1) officer or employee shall be entitled to pay retention if, as a result of any reduction-in-force or other workforce adjustment procedure, position reclassification, or other appropriate circumstances, such officer or employee is placed in or holds a position in a lower grade or band with a maximum rate of basic pay that is less than the rate of basic pay payable to the officer or employee immediately before the reduction in grade or band; (2) officer or employee may, in appropriate circumstances, be reimbursed for certain relocation expenses for which they would not otherwise be eligible, but only if the Comptroller General determines that the transfer giving rise to such relocation is of sufficient benefit or value to GAO to justify such reimbursement; and (3) key officer or employee who has less than three years of service may, in appropriate circumstances, accrue six hours annual leave biweekly. Authorizes the Comptroller General, by regulation, to establish an executive exchange program under which GAO officers and employees in high-grade, managerial, or supervisory positions may be assigned to private sector organizations, and employees of private sector organizations may be assigned to GAO, for work of mutual concern and benefit. Renames the General Accounting Office as the Government Accountability Office.
