HR 5810 United States House · 119th Congress

Federal Supervisor Education Act

HR 5810, the Federal Supervisor Education Act of 2025, requires all federal supervisors to complete mandatory training on key management responsibilities. The bill mandates agencies to establish programs covering performance goal-setting, fair workplace practices, addressing harassment, disciplinary procedures, and probationary evaluations. Supervisors must complete initial training within one year of appointment and refresher training every three years. The law directly affects every federal supervisor, including management officials and designated employees, by requiring structured development aligned with agency missions and OPM guidelines. It also requires agencies to measure training effectiveness and provide supervisors with developmental opportunity resources.

What changed between versions

Introduced in House Engrossed in House · 3 edits · Dec 15, 2025
MINOR
The Engrossed version makes one substantive policy change: it removes a requirement that supervisor training include assessing agency needs and interests regarding a probationary employee's final appointment. The remaining changes are technical, including removing the year '2025' from the short title and a minor punctuation fix in the table of sections.
REQUIREMENT

Removed from the mandatory supervisor training content the requirement to train supervisors on assessing agency needs and interests with respect to a probationary employee's final appointment. Supervisors will still be trained on using the probationary period to evaluate performance and conduct, but no longer on the agency-side assessment of whether to make a final appointment.

TECHNICAL

Removed 'of 2025' from the short title throughout the bill, changing it from 'Federal Supervisor Education Act of 2025' to 'Federal Supervisor Education Act.'

Minor punctuation correction in the table of sections for chapter 43 of title 5, removing an extra period after 'Management competencies.'
