On June 3, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order creating a new Schedule Policy/Career in the federal excepted service. The order transfers positions with confidential, policy‑determining responsibilities into this schedule to improve accountability for misconduct or poor performance. Employees in Schedule Policy/Career will be hired through merit‑based procedures and may receive veteran preference. The order requires agencies to set aside a separate bonus pool for outstanding work and mandates the Office of Personnel Management to establish a presidential award program for these employees. Agencies must notify affected staff within seven days and update records to reflect the new schedule. The move is intended to streamline policy‑influencing roles while safeguarding democratic governance.
