The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced a notice about special hiring authorities that were created or canceled for specific government agencies in June 2020. These authorities, known as Schedule A, B, and C, allow for the appointment of employees without going through the traditional federal hiring process. In June 2020, no new Schedule A or B authorities were reported. However, some Schedule C authorities were approved and others were revoked. This information is published every month and also included in an annual report.
Simple Explanation
The government can hire people in special ways without using the usual process, like how sometimes a teacher might pick a student to be a helper without asking everyone first. In June 2020, they decided which of these special hiring tricks they would keep or stop using for certain jobs.
