Agencies have until April 20 to recommend federal employee positions to be converted into the new “Policy/Career” classification, according to an OPM memo.
Agencies have a 90-day deadline to review and create lists of federal positions to potentially be converted to the Trump administration’s new “Schedule Policy/Career” federal employee classification, in effect defining who in the career federal workforce will see many of their job protections removed.
In a memo published Monday morning, Office of Personnel Management Acting Director Charles Ezell detailed how agencies should move forward with implementing President Donald Trump’s executive order on “restoring accountability to policy-influencing positions within the federal workforce,” while also announcing the suspension of portions of the Biden administration’s regulations aiming to prevent a return of the Trump administration’s previous Schedule F policy.
Ezell clarified that agencies have until April 20 — or 90 days after Trump signed the executive order — to submit their initial recommendations of the career positions to be converted into the new “Policy/Career” classification.
“Agencies are encouraged to submit recommendations on a rolling basis before this date,” Ezell wrote in the memo.
OPM did not immediately respond to Federal News Network’s request for comment.
