Latest Action · April 10, 2025
Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 2880 would restore employment protections for federal workers who were fired during their probationary period after a promotion between January 20, 2025, and the bill's enactment date. The bill requires that probationary federal employees in the competitive service, career positions in the excepted service, and Senior Executive Service positions receive the same due process protections as permanent employees, including the right to a hearing before dismissal. Affected employees would have the option to be reinstated to their former position or an equivalent role with back pay. The protections do not apply to political appointees or positions in the Executive Schedule. The bill addresses both civilian federal employees and Department of Veterans Affairs employees covered under separate statutory provisions.
