A federal judge on Feb. 6 extended to Monday a deadline for federal workers to opt into a program from the Trump administration that gives them nearly eight months of full pay and benefits if they quit their jobs.
U.S. District Judge George O'Toole in Boston issued a temporary restraining order that paused the original Feb. 6 deadline for the “deferred resignation” program. The ruling gives workers additional time to decide whether they wish to accept the offer while unions continue legal challenges to the program.
