What is
the Merit System ?
The Merit System is a set of laws, rules and procedures
similar to the "civil service system" at the Federal
and State level, and is the method by which classified employees
are governed. The fundamental purpose of the Merit System is to
ensure that employees are selected, promoted and retained without
favoritism or prejudice, on the basis of merit and fitness.
