President Donald J. Trump Creates New Federal Employee Category to Enhance Accountability – The White House

President Donald J. Trump Creates New Federal Employee Category to Enhance Accountability – The White House

REINFORCING ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE: Today, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) under President Donald J. Trump has initiated steps to enact the President’s Executive Action titled “Reinforcing Accountability in Policy-Influencing Roles Within the Federal Workforce.”

  • OPM has proposed a new rule to revise civil service regulations by introducing Schedule Policy/Career for career employees whose responsibilities involve significant policy-determining, policy-making, policy-advocating, or confidential tasks.

    • These employees will be classified as at-will, eliminating access to lengthy adverse action procedures or appeals that previously protected underperformers during the Biden Administration.
    • However, frontline federal employees, such as Border Patrol agents or wage and hour inspectors, will generally be exempt from this change.

  • This new regulation empowers federal agencies to promptly dismiss employees in policy-influencing roles for reasons such as poor performance, misconduct, corruption, or failure to adhere to Presidential directives, thus bypassing protracted procedural challenges.
  • Positions under Schedule Policy/Career will still be considered career roles, filled through the established nonpartisan, merit-based hiring processes.

    • While these employees will retain their competitive status and are not mandated to support the President politically or personally, they are required to implement the law and the administration’s policies diligently.

  • OPM estimates that approximately 50,000 positions, roughly 2% of the Federal workforce, will eventually transition into Schedule Policy/Career.

    • It’s important to note that this proposed rule does not automatically transition positions into Schedule Policy/Career; a subsequent executive order will facilitate that after a final rule is established.

REPAIRING A FALTERING SYSTEM: The proposed rule aims to address systemic challenges in federal workforce accountability, targeting unaccountable, policy-setting employees who prioritize personal agendas over public service.

  • Reports from federal employees indicate a lack of accountability within their agencies:

    • The Merit Principles Survey reveals that fewer than 25% of federal employees feel their agencies effectively tackle poor performance.
    • When asked about the fate of underperforming colleagues, the most frequent response was that such individuals “remain in the work unit and continue to underperform.”

  • This lack of accountability stemmed from the arduous process required to remove federal employees:

    • The Government Accountability Office indicates that it can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to remove underperformers, not including potential appeals.
    • Only about 40% of federal managers express confidence in their ability to dismiss employees guilty of serious misconduct.
    • A mere 25% believe they could remove an employee for inadequate performance in a critical area of their role.

  • This unaccountability breeds corruption within agencies:

    • A recent audit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) uncovered significant misconduct among senior leaders, including instances of male supervisors coercing female employees for sexual favors in return for career advancement.
    • Shockingly, the FDIC rarely disciplined employees for such unethical conduct; not a single complaint to the agency’s Anti-Harassment program resulted in a removal or even a demotion.
    • The auditors concluded that the tolerance of misconduct was largely due to the cumbersome removal process.

  • Some bureaucrats have exploited the protections offered by the system to resist presidential policies and push their own agendas:

    • A recent survey of senior federal employees in Washington, D.C., revealed that a plurality would disregard a lawful presidential order they deemed poor policy, opting instead to follow their own judgment.
    • During Trump’s first term, career attorneys in the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division refused to support litigation against Yale University for alleged racial discrimination against Asian and Caucasian applicants.
    • Similarly, during the President’s initial term, career employees in the Department of Education declined to aid in drafting significant regulations, such as the Title IX rules.
    • A recent email from an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative judge suggested that the agency’s Acting Chair, appointed by President Trump, was “unfit to be our chair,” and expressed intent to defy the President’s Executive Orders.

  • The unchecked bureaucracy undermines democratic accountability. To ensure government responsiveness to the American populace, elected officials must retain the ability to hold policy-setting and decision-making career employees accountable for their actions and performance.

DRAINING THE SWAMP: President Trump is fulfilling his commitment to dismantle what many view as the deep state and reclaim governmental integrity from entrenched Washington corruption.

  • During his first term, President Trump enacted an Executive Order to reclassify certain federal workers in policy-driven roles as “Schedule F” employees, streamlining accountability for those in key positions.
  • Upon taking office, President Biden rescinded this Executive Order, reinstating protections that shielded unaccountable bureaucrats.

President Trump pledged during his campaign to revive this Executive Order, a promise he upheld on his first day back in office.
