Presented by Robert Erbe, Esq.
Wednesday | June 25, 2025 • 12 - 1:30 p.m. ET
REGISTER NOWWith Executive Order 14284 and Civil Service Rule XI, President Trump ushered in a new era for probationary and trial periods in the federal workforce. Agencies must comply immediately with several new requirements as well as others that become effective July 23, 2025. In this interactive webinar, federal employment law expert Robert Erbe will walk you through the new mandates and provide best practices your agency can use to meet them.
You’ll also learn about other federal laws that must be considered for probationary individuals to avoid an unintended violation of other statutes, as well as which prior laws and regulations have been repealed or rendered inoperative so your agency doesn’t inadvertently use obsolete rules and forms.
Avoid missed deadlines, improper terminations, and litigation over terminations by gaining Mr. Erbe’s guidance on:
- When a probationary or trial period is required for individuals hired under the competitive and excepted service
- The factors a supervisor must consider in determining if it is in the public interest to finalize the appointment
- Proceeding correctly under the new rules regarding petitions for reinstatement
- Determining if an individual is serving a probationary period or obtained career status based on Title 5
- Drafting a termination notice to protect against an EEO or whistleblower complaint
- Special steps agencies must take for employees whose probationary or trial periods end on or after July 23, 2025
- And more!
