 Hello,
The Office of Management and Budget and U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a joint memorandum titled, "Federal Civilian Hiring Freeze Guidance." This joint memorandum provides additional guidance regarding the freeze on the hiring of federal civilian employees as directed by the President on January 20, 2025, via Presidential Memorandum (PM) entitled “Hiring Freeze.” This guidance clarifies immediate actions to be taken by Heads of executive departments and agencies to implement the PM and provides information on the types of exemptions authorized under this hiring freeze as well as instructions on how departments and agencies can request exemptions from OPM for critical situations where additional exemptions may be warranted. Note that the guidance includes monthly reporting requirements.
If you have any questions about reassigning executives, please email SERS@opm.gov, with a copy to Amanda Scales at amanda.scales@opm.gov.
If you have any questions about non-executive hiring freeze implications, please email employ@opm.gov, with a copy to Amanda Scales at amanda.scales@opm.gov.
All the best!
Veronica E. Hinton
Associate Director
