    By Charles S. Clark, Government Executive

    Among the myriad provisions packed in the major defense authorization bill that cleared Congress Thursday are new curbs on agency administrative leave to prevent long periods where employees who are under investigation can’t report to work but are paid. The final version of the act also included language that will affect civil servants’ personnel files and benefits for those who accept a buyout.
