The Trump administration is looking to allow agencies to hire employees in certain positions on a temporary basis for up to 10 years, more than doubling the current cap limiting the assignments for those workers.
The Office of Personnel Management issued a proposed rule on Monday that would enable federal agencies to appoint employees in STEM jobs, or positions on temporary or new projects or organizations, for a decade. how much do computer engineers make said the change would give agencies more flexibility when tackling long-term science, technology, engineering and mathematics projects and other non-permanent work. Current regulations require agencies to get special permission from OPM to keep any term employee on staff for longer than four years.
The rule would make federal jobs more attractive for STEM professionals only interested in joining government on a project-by-project basis “to build their resumes,” OPM said, assisting in bringing on those with specialized knowledge and skills. STEM projects in government often last longer than four years, with OPM citing as examples medical research, data analysis and the development of new technologies.
“OPM believes this flexibility promotes retention and continuity, workforce planning, and minimizes disruptions during project work,” the agency said in the rule.
