OPM proposes new limits on back pay for federal employees, unions




Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: The Office of Personnel Management recently proposed some big changes to federal employee back pay. The proposal came in the form of draft regulations. They could limit the kinds of situations where federal employees are eligible for back pay. And they could exclude federal employee unions entirely from getting attorney fees. The timing of the proposal is curious. OPM hasn't changed its interpretation on back pay for federal employees in almost 40 years.
