Streamlining Probationary and Trial Period Appeals in Federal Service: OPM’s New Appeals Process

$199.99

Federal agencies and HR professionals must adapt to OPM’s final rule, which transforms how appeals are handled for terminations and related actions during probationary and trial periods. This course delivers authoritative, detailed guidance on the revised process—covering who is eligible, what actions are appealable, filing requirements, adjudication procedures, and the consequences of non-compliance. Equip yourself or your team with actionable knowledge to ensure your agency’s policies align with the new federal mandates and to minimize legal and financial risk.

In this course you will learn the following:
* Understand the scope and purpose of the new OPM appeals process for probationary and trial period actions.
* Identify which employees and actions are covered under the final rule.
* Apply the new procedures for filing, adjudicating, and responding to appeals.
* Recognize the limited grounds for appeal and the exclusive nature of the OPM process.
* Comprehend the legal and financial consequences of failing to comply with the rule.
* Distinguish the roles of OPM, MSPB, EEOC, OSC, and other forums under the new framework.
