Requires that under such system: (1) appointments, promotions, and reassignments shall be based solely on fitness and merit; (2) GAO employees shall receive equal pay for equal work; (3) employees shall be promoted or demoted according to a performance appraisal based on objective criteria; (4) employees shall be removed, reduced in grade, suspended, or furloughed only for unacceptable performance to promote the efficiency of the service; and (5) all appeals and complaints shall be adjudicated fairly.
States that under such system: (1) applicants and employees of the GA0 who qualify for veterans' preference shall be entitled to the rights granted to such preference eligibles; and (2) an employee who completes one year of service in a non-temporary position may be appointed non-competitively to a position in the competitive service.
