Merit Commission Clause Samples

A Merit Commission clause establishes a committee or body responsible for evaluating and making decisions based on merit, often in the context of appointments, promotions, or awards. This commission typically reviews candidates or proposals according to predefined criteria, ensuring that selections are based on qualifications and achievements rather than favoritism or other non-merit factors.
