The Office of Personnel Management is giving agencies until March 24 to revise their rosters of “career reserved” SES positions within their workforces and align them with the Trump administration’s goal of turning traditionally career federal positions into political roles.

OPM’s guidance tells agencies to convert a number of “career reserved” roles — which can only be filled by career federal employees — and instead designate them as “general” SES positions — which can be filled by either a career or political SES member.
