The "Paycheck Protection Act" seeks to amend federal law to prohibit government agencies and the Postal Service from deducting certain payments from employee salaries. Specifically, it targets deductions for labor organization dues, fees, or political contributions , aiming to end this practice across the federal workforce. The bill achieves this by amending section 7115 of title 5, United States Code, which governs federal agencies, and section 1205 of title 39, United States Code, which applies to the Postal Service. These amendments would explicitly state that agencies and the Postal Service "may not deduct any amount from the pay of an employee" for these specified purposes, thereby altering current payroll deduction policies for federal and postal employees.
