[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the part I wonder about, "This memorandum does not revoke any appointment to Federal service made prior to January 22, 2017." Could it mean that an offer before the 22 can be honored?

At first I assumed that referred to appointees (i.e. political appointees) but those were discussed in an earlier paragraph. So is the sentence I quoted up to interpretation by each agency?[/quote]

I focused on another area of it:
[b]As part of this freeze, no vacant positions existing at noon on January 22, 2017, may be filled [/b]

[/quote]

If appointment is made, it's no longer vacant. If you got an offer before 1/22, you are good to go. [/quote]

That isn't my understanding.  My understanding is that you needed to have started on 1/22 or before. The position is considered vacant until your EOD date.[/quote]
Actually, to be more specific, until you take the oath of office.[/quote]

I think the oath thing is still up for debate.  There are employees who were in the new positions on 12:01am 1/22 (start of the new pay period), but didn't take the oath until 8:00am on 1/23.  Are those people considered to have been appointed by noon on 1/22?[/quote]
