MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: employment Federal workers have up until February 6 to decide whether to voluntarily leave their jobs. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management, OPM, informed employees on Tuesday that if they hand in their resignation by next Thursday - that's less than a week from now - most will be allowed to take leave and employment be paid up until the end of September. Michelle Bercovici is an employment lawyer who represents federal staff members as a large part of her practice, so I asked her for her interpretation about what OPM's deferred resignation program would actually mean.MICHELLE BERCOVICI: employment I in fact do not consider it a lot an offer. I think it's a demand to resign with an unclear pledge that, potentially, you could be kept in administrative leave status for up to eight months - but no guarantees.MARTIN: [employment](https://www.smfsimple.com/ultimateportaldemo/index.php?action=profile
