Recent reports reveal that more than 1,100 employees at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been notified of their probationary status and warned of potential immediate termination. These employees, who have been working at the agency for less than a year, received emails notifying them of their probationary status and the possibility of immediate dismissal.
The emails, which began circulating late Wednesday afternoon, informed the probationary employees that the agency reserves the right to terminate their employment immediately in accordance with 5 CFR § 315.804. The termination process involves issuing a notice of termination, resulting in immediate employment termination.
