A recent court ruling reinstated probationary and term employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) who were dismissed since February 10. Chief Judge Jackson prohibited the bureau from terminating employees for reasons not related to performance. The CFPB is mandated to provide adequate office space or remote work equipment for its employees and to maintain a functional consumer complaint portal. This decision underscores the ongoing transformations within the CFPB under the directive of Acting Director Vought and the administration's conservative changes since January.
"Jackson also ordered the CFPB to allow employees to perform their statutorily mandated functions by giving them either fully equipped office space or proper equipment to work remotely."
"The bureau is prohibited from terminating any employee for reasons unrelated to performance or conduct, nor can it issue a reduction-in-force notice to any employee."
