Bill Summary
A BILL To allow Federal employees terminated while serving a probationary or trial period to resume such period upon reinstatement, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill allows federal employees who were involuntarily terminated while serving a probationary or trial period between January 20, 2025, and January 20, 2029, to be reinstated to a similar position in their former agency and resume their original probationary period. Specifically, the bill enables these "covered probationary employees" to have their remaining probationary period adjusted by subtracting the time they already served in their previous federal position. The bill defines a "covered appointment" as a reinstatement to a position that is, to the extent possible, the same as their previous role, and applies to individuals who were serving an initial appointment in an Executive agency when they were involuntarily separated. The legislation provides a pathway for these employees to complete their probationary period and potentially secure their federal employment status, offering a form of protection and opportunity for workers who were terminated during their initial employment period. The bill is set to expire on January 20, 2029, making it a time-limited initiative to support federal employees during a specific timeframe.
