Following California District Judge William Alsup's ruling against mass terminations by the Office of Personnel Management, the National Science Foundation is reinstating certain probationary employees. The ruling allows agencies to retain probationary workers identified as disabled, veterans, or military spouses. Of 170 NSF staff terminated, 86 were probationary employees. NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan mandated these employees receive backpay, ensuring no break in service, reinforcing the agency's commitment to valuing contributions to scientific discovery and innovation.
"We started the process to reinstate those impacted probationary employees right away. Every NSF employee makes important contributions to the NSF mission and the national science, engineering, and technology enterprise everyday."
"NSF welcomes the return of our probationary employees who will help ensure the United States remains the global leader in scientific discovery and innovation."
