Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The MERIT Act of 2024 amends federal employee personnel rules to streamline removal and disciplinary procedures. It repeals the existing performance-based action authority under section 4303, replaces it with a new adverse action framework requiring only a preponderance-of-evidence standard, and shortens the timeline for disciplinary decisions to 15 business days. The bill also restricts employee grievance rights for adverse actions and reductions in force, extends probationary periods for federal employees, and modifies pay protections for demoted senior executives.
