    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. CONTINUATION OF RETIREMENT AND LEAVE BENEFITS FOR CERTAIN 
              FORMER EMPLOYEES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

    (a) In General.--Before transferring any functions from a component

shall ensure that the contractor has made satisfactory arrangements to 
carry out subsections (b) and (c).
    (b) Federal Retirement Benefits.--
            (1) In general.--Any employee who, concurrent with a 
        transfer of function described in subsection (a), transfers 
        from a position in the Department of Defense to employment with 
        the contractor referred to in subsection (a), and who, 
        immediately before the start of employment with the contractor, 
        is subject to subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5, United 
        States Code, or chapter 84 of such title, shall remain subject 
        to such subchapter or chapter, as the case may be, so long as 
        that individual remains employed--
                    (A) by the contractor;
                    (B) without a break in service; and
                    (C) at the same site as where such individual was 
                last employed by the Department of Defense.
            (2) Contributions.--A contractor shall be responsible for 
        making, on behalf of any individual described in paragraph (1) 
        who is employed by such contractor, all appropriate 
        contributions and payments to the Civil Service Retirement and 
        Disability Fund at the same time and in the same manner as in 
        the case of an employing agency under subchapter III of chapter 
        83 or chapter 84 of such title.
    (c) Annual and Sick Leave.--Any employee of the Department of 
Defense who becomes employed by a contractor in the circumstances

            (1) shall be credited by the contractor with all annual 
        leave and sick leave standing to that individual's credit on 
        the date as of which such individual separates from service 
        with the Department of Defense; and
            (2) shall not be entitled to a lump-sum payment for unused 
        annual leave under section 5551 of title 5, United States Code.
    (d) Applicability.--Nothing in this section shall be considered to 
apply with respect to any individual whose last period of service with 
the Department of Defense, before the start of employment with a 
contractor, was on a temporary or intermittent basis.
