MSPB Makes Recommendations

MSPB’s recommendations include: providing agencies with the flexibility to set the length of the probationary period based upon the unique characteristics of their positions and training programs; creating a culture in which probationers are treated with respect as candidates for an appointment, but not as federal employees with finalized appointments, and using the period to terminate probationers who fail to demonstrate the appropriate level of performance and conduct.
