The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is telling agencies to continue to use the probationary period for federal workers after the Trump administration issued a directive last month for agency heads to review workers under probation for possible dismissal.
“The Trump Administration is encouraging agencies to use the probationary period as it was intended: as a continuation of the job application process, not an entitlement for permanent employment,” an OPM official told The Epoch Times on Wednesday.
