Less Restricted Employees

Following the relaxation of limitations on participation in political activity, the majority of
individuals identified as 'employees' subject to the Hatch Act are considered 'less restricted
employees.' That is, these employees are subject to the standard rules provided by the Hatch
Act, whether by statute or regulation, and generally are permitted to 'take an active part in
political management or in political campaigns,' except for the general restrictions outlined
above.
