One key factor concerning the excepted service is that employees have fewer appeal rights (compared to positions in the competitive service) in the event of disciplinary actions or job termination. For example, non- Veteran employees in the excepted service are generally barred from appealing adverse agency personnel decisions to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) or to the Federal courts. Excepted service agencies have consistently claimed that they need the speed and flexibility afforded by being in the excepted service in order to perform their missions and maintain good order and discipline.
