Trump administration looks to tweak paid administrative leave rules
About this episode
The episode discusses proposed changes to paid administrative leave rules for federal employees by the Trump administration.
The Trump administration is looking to tweak the rules for federal employees’ paid administrative leave. Recent proposed regulations from the Office of Personnel Management would give agencies more leeway to use paid leave, including during workforce reduction efforts. During 2025, agencies used administrative leave to implement the deferred resignation program, paying thousands of employees for several months not to work, in exchange for them agreeing to quit their jobs.
