  • extend the probationary period for SES employees from one year to two years;

  • require a written description of employee performance requirements to be provided to SES employees by 30 calendar days before each rating period;
  • make SES employees subject to the same 14-day (or less) suspension period, without duties and pay, as is applicable to other federal employees;
  • expand the grounds for suspension or termination of an SES employee to include such cause as would promote the efficiency of the SES;
  • allow an agency to place an SES employee on mandatory leave for misconduct, neglect of duty, malfeasance, or such cause as would promote the efficiency of the SES;
  • provide for expedited removal of SES employees for performance or misconduct and for an expedited appeals process for removals; and
  • require mandatory reassignments of SES employees at least once every five years.
