The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued a final rule that changes who handles appeals when federal employees are laid off, demoted, or furloughed for more than 30 days.
Why it matters: This is a structural change that shifts the authority for reviewing job loss appeals from one agency (MSPB) to another (OPM). It aims to make the process faster and cheaper, though it changes how employees present their cases.
