More than 20 thousand federal employees of the USA have stated to the government that they are ready to apply for leave under the extension program, the deadline for which is approaching. This was reported by a source to Reuters.
This comes after the government proposed various incentives for employees to leave their jobs, including cash and additional paid time off. "More than 20 thousand people have registered for the program and expressed their desire to leave their positions," the source said.
Official data on the number of employees who have applied for leave at this time is not yet available. However, it is anticipated that the number of resignations may increase closer to the end of the program's deadline.
