Excerpt
On September 30, 1996, the President signed Public Law 104-208. Section 663 of that law provides targeted buyout authority for most Executive non-Defense departments and agencies. This package provides guidance developed by the Office of Personnel Management in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget and agencies for implementing the program and answering technical questions related to the law. This new legislation contains many of the flexibilities and provisions of the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act of 1994 (P.L. 103-226). However, there are significant differences in the two programs. We have tried to clarify any differences and, where warranted, identify contrasts between the two incentive laws.
