A federal judge told the Trump administration late Monday that fired probationary workers must be returned to their old jobs, not just placed on administrative leave as many departments have been doing.
California-based U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup previously ordered the Trump administration to return the fired workers to their posts, writing Monday that simply placing them on administrative leave flouted his earlier order.
In more than a dozen declarations filed by the government Monday night, officials at the agencies said that most reinstated workers were placed on paid administrative leave, though some have been returned to full employment.
