Recent headlines have been buzzing with a unique proposition from the federal government: offers for federal employees to "resign" while continuing to receive payment without active work. While this might sound attractive at first glance, our legal team urges potential recipients to proceed with extreme caution.

Key Concerns for Federal Employees

These deferred resignation agreements come with significant legal and financial uncertainties:

1. Funding Uncertainty: Perhaps the most critical issue is that the funding for these promised payments has not yet been approved by Congress. This means employees could potentially sign an agreement with no guarantee of actual payment.
2. Limited Legal Recourse: If the promised payments fail to materialize, employees may find themselves with minimal legal options for breach of agreement.
3. Potential Discriminatory Implications: Some terminations appear to involve potential violations of collective bargaining agreements or raise concerns about discriminatory practices.

Why Professional Legal Consultation is Critical

Our attorneys are experiencing an unprecedented number of inquiries about these offers. We recommend:

• A thorough, case-by-case review of your specific circumstances
• Comprehensive analysis of potential legal risks
• Understanding your rights under current federal employment regulations
