 The Office of Personnel Management is finally close to enforcing legislation that Congress passed nearly seven years ago. Federal News Network's Jory Heckman explains. OPM plans to finalize a rule implementing the Administrative Leave Act by December. The 2017 legislation puts limits on how long agencies can put employees on paid administrative leave while investigating claims of wrongdoing. Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility sued OPM earlier this month over delays in completing the long-awaited guidance.
