On July 17, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order establishing a new classification of federal workers known as Schedule G. This classification focuses on non-career positions intended to enhance the implementation of the Administration’s policies and address gaps in federal employee classifications. Schedule G employees will be appointed for temporary positions and will leave office when the appointing President departs, ensuring alignment with the current policy agenda.

The creation of Schedule G positions aims to improve government efficiency and accountability. This initiative is designed to facilitate quicker appointments to key policy-making roles, particularly in agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs. The classification seeks to strengthen the ability of federal agencies to implement the Administration’s objectives, thereby improving services for taxpayers.

Additionally, the establishment of Schedule G is part of a broader effort by President Trump to reform the federal bureaucracy. The Administration has previously introduced measures to increase accountability among career federal employees and is dedicated to reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies. By focusing on the implementation of the will of the American people, the Administration aims to streamline operations in federal agencies and eliminate unnecessary regulations.
