Case studies of merits review outcomes

Gain insights into the Merit Protection Commission's work with de-identified case studies of our review decisions. 

Our decisions

These case studies of our decisions are for employees, managers and decision makers to understand how merits review works, our decision making processes and the diversity of the actions and decisions we review. 

Information in these case studies is intended to be a guide, and should not be relied upon as legal advice. Decision-makers must consider the individual circumstances of each case before making a decision and not rely on case studies as an expected outcome.
