The Trump administration is working to reinstate more than 24,000 probationary workers who were fired as part of its efforts to reduce the federal workforce. Two federal judges recently ordered the temporary reinstatement of these workers. The administration has submitted documents detailing the efforts of 18 departments and agencies to rehire the fired employees. Many of the reinstated workers will be placed on administrative leave, as it would be burdensome for departments to immediately return them to full duty status. Some employees from agencies like the CDC have not yet been reinstated, despite the court orders. In one case, a judge expressed concern that putting rehired employees on administrative leave does not fully restore the services intended by the court order. The government was advised by the Office of Personnel Management to dismiss probationary workers last month. The situation remains fluid, as further court decisions could affect the reinstatement process.
