Summary
The EQUALS Act changes how federal employees in the competitive service become permanent. It lengthens the standard probationary period to two years, or one year for those hired under a preference, and requires agencies to certify that keeping the employee serves the public interest before the appointment is finalized. The rule also sets notice and evaluation procedures for agencies and employees.
