Bill overview
The MERIT Act of 2025 aims to reform how the federal government handles employee performance and misconduct. It proposes to eliminate a specific authority used to initiate performance-based actions, replacing it with a new process focused on evidence-based decisions. The bill also restricts appeals related to adverse actions, clarifies procedures for disciplinary actions, and addresses issues related to pay retention, probationary periods, and supervisor accountability. It seeks to streamline the process for addressing employee performance issues while protecting employee rights.
