The White House is offering federal employees a buyout package worth seven months of salary if they choose to leave their jobs by February 6th. This voluntary separation program is part of a broader effort to return federal workers to in-person work arrangements.
The White House initiated a voluntary separation program on Tuesday, offering federal employees a buyout equivalent to seven months of their salary if they choose to leave their positions by February 6th. This initiative, announced through a memo from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the government's human resources agency, outlines four key directives for the federal workforce. These directives include a mandate for most workers to return to their offices full-time.
The memo underscores the government's appreciation for federal employees and emphasizes a dignified and fair departure process for those opting to leave through the deferred resignation program. The program, effective from January 28th, remains open to all federal employees until February 6th. Employees who resign under this program will retain their full pay and benefits, regardless of their daily workload, and are exempt from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30th.This voluntary separation program comes amidst a broader push for a return to pre-pandemic work norms within the federal government. The Trump administration's directive for a full-time return to offices aligns with the goal of restoring normalcy and operational efficiency.
