Closed merit. for non-commissioned officers, means a process of selection used in a transfer situation where the vacancy is not advertised on open merit, but more than one person has been identified as potential transferees. Decisions shall be on the basis of those skills and abilities identified as being necessary for the position. However, issues such as tenure, location, current rank, special qualifications may also be determining factors. Thus closed merit is applied within the relevant closed pool of employees on the same rank who have expressed their interest in transferring to a position, rather than within a wider pool which would be created by advertising the vacancy.
