  • Office of Personnel Management (OPM) officials met with agency leaders across government Thursday and directed them to begin firing employees still in their probationary period a year or more

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued new guidance directing federal agencies to terminate employees who are still within their probationary period if they exhibit performance or conduct issues. This directive aims to streamline the process of removing underperforming or problematic employees early in their tenure, before they gain full civil service protections. The guidance emphasizes the importance of addressing such issues promptly to maintain efficiency and effectiveness within government operations. It also provides agencies with specific procedures to follow, ensuring that the termination process is fair and legally compliant. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance accountability and performance management within the federal workforce.
