The EQUALS Act of 2025 amends federal civil service rules to extend probationary periods for new employees in the competitive service from one year to two years (one year for veterans with preference eligibility), and establishes new two-year trial periods for employees in the excepted service. The bill requires agencies to affirmatively certify that an employee's continued employment advances the public interest before finalizing their appointment, and grants agency heads broad discretion in making this determination based on performance, agency needs, and efficiency. It also applies these probationary and trial period rules to FAA and TSA employees and modifies adverse action procedures to align with the extended probationary periods.
