The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued a final rule that changes how many federal employees receive performance reviews. This applies to General Schedule (GS) employees and those on prevailing rates, but excludes high-level Senior Executive Service (SES) members.
Why it matters: This is an administrative change that gives federal agencies more flexibility in how they grade employee performance and reduces the oversight required for low ratings, while also removing certain appeal rights for workers.
