Implementing Schedule Policy/Career in the Excepted Service

14410 is an executive action signed by President Donald J. Trump that creates and implements Schedule Policy/Career in the excepted service. It directs the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to revise civil service rules, update related executive orders, and identify positions that belong in this category (Secs. 2-3, 5). It also requires agencies to use merit-based hiring, follow veteran preference as far as administratively feasible, and set aside bonus pools for these employees (Secs. 2(c)(i)(B), 4(a)). This matters because it changes how some federal policy jobs are hired, rewarded, and removed, which can affect how government works for the public.
