Trump Offers Buyouts to Federal Employees Who Resign by Feb. 6, Paying Them Through Sept. 30
Jan 28, 2025, 09:53 PM
President Donald Trump is offering buyouts to all federal employees who do not wish to return to in-office work, according to a memo set to be released by the White House on Tuesday afternoon. Employees who resign by February 6 will continue to receive pay through September 30. A senior administration official stated, "We're five years past COVID and just 6% of federal employees work full-time in the office. That is unacceptable." The move aims to address the low percentage of federal workers currently working in the office and to encourage a return to regular in-person work.
