Contrary to the impression held by some employees, the merit promotion program in no way limits the agency's right to fill a jcb by appointment from outside the organization. The program does require that action be taken subject to provisions of the program when it is decided that a job should be filled by promotion. So-called "exceptions" to the merit program cause some degree of unwarranted concern on the part of employees. The "exceptions" possible under guidelines set by the Commission principally provide for career development situations, or considerations of equity, and are not exceptions in the true sense of the word.
