Civil Service Reform Act of 1978

The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 was a law that was passed by Congress to make it easier for the government to hire and manage people who work for the government. The law did this by setting up a new system for hiring and managing government workers. It also set up rules for how people could be promoted in their jobs. The law also established a new agency, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to make sure the rules were followed and to provide job training for new government employees. The law also gave federal employees more rights, including the right to appeal any decisions made about their jobs. Lastly, the law set up a system for resolving disputes between federal employees and their managers.
