The Merit System

The Merit System is a method used to hire, promote, and advance government employees based on their abilities, skills, and performance, rather than political connections or favoritism. It aims to ensure fairness and professionalism by assessing individuals through exams, performance reviews, and qualifications. This system promotes competence and accountability in public service, helping to create an efficient and unbiased workforce. It is often implemented through formal guidelines and regulations to uphold transparency and merit-based decision-making in government employment.
