Trump Administration Creates Schedule G for Non-Career Federal Policy Employees

News summary

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order establishing a new federal employee classification called Schedule G, designed to categorize non-career workers involved in policymaking or policy advocacy. These Schedule G employees are expected to serve temporarily and leave their positions at the end of the appointing president's term, allowing for greater political oversight and alignment with the administration's policy agenda. This classification aims to fill a gap in federal hiring practices by providing a mechanism to swiftly remove workers who do not faithfully implement presidential directives, enhancing accountability and operational efficiency. The move revives and expands efforts similar to the prior Schedule F classification from Trump's first term, which was rescinded by President Joe Biden and had faced criticism for threatening the nonpartisan nature of the civil service. Critics question the necessity of Schedule G given existing classifications like Schedule C, warning it could increase political interference in government operations. Supporters argue the classification will help government agencies better implement the president's policies, reflecting a broader push to restructure federal employment and reduce longstanding job protections.
