What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Protect Our Probationary Employees Act," aims to allow certain Federal employees to resume their probationary or trial periods upon reinstatement. It specifically targets individuals who were involuntarily separated from Executive agency service during a specific timeframe. The legislation provides a method to calculate the remaining time needed for a probationary period based on time already served in a previous position. This calculation applies when the employee is appointed to a position in their former employing agency that is the same as their previous position. Finally, the Act includes a sunset provision that will end the law on January 20, 2029.
