The Trump administration has updated its guidance on so-called probationary employees after a court ruled the administration had illegally ordered their firing, saying the final choice rests with agencies.
The Office of Personnel Management issued an updated guidance memo to agencies Tuesday including how to handle employees on probationary periods.
The updated memo, reported Tuesday by Axios, includes new language stating that OPM “is not directing agencies to take any specific performance-based actions regarding probationary employees.”

Agencies, the memo says, “have ultimate decisionmaking authority over, and responsibility for, such personnel actions.”
