The National Science Foundation (NSF) has reinstated many of its probationary employees who were laid off last month due to a court ruling indicating that these layoffs were unlawful under the Office of Personnel Management's authority. Following updated guidance from the OPM and federal courts, NSF Director Dr. Panchanathan authorized the reinstatement of 84 probationary staff with back pay. This decision highlights the foundation's commitment to maintaining a capable workforce that contributes to national scientific leadership and innovation.
Every NSF employee makes important contributions to the NSF mission and the national science, engineering, and technological innovation landscape. We support our teams who make this mission possible.
In light of the recent court ruling, the NSF decided to reinstate terminated probationary staff with backpay, ensuring no disruption in their service.
