Course Title: MBU 633 Legal Environment of Human Resources in the Federal Sector

Course Description: Most Federal agencies manage their human resource (HR) programs using systems, laws and policies that are specific to the Federal government. Although similar in principle, Federal HR management programs and policies are much than those in the private sector – and even state and local government. The laws and regulations that comprise these Federal systems are designed and applied consistent with merit system principles and related public service values. Understanding those principles and values, their roots, and how they are operationalized in law and regulation is essential for the effective application of merit-based Federal HR management in achieving an agency’s mission. In addition, for many areas of HR management, Federal agencies are also subject to the general employment laws that govern organizations throughout the United States. This course will focus on the Federal foundations, e.g., Title 5 law and related Code of Federal Regulations, which serve as both the power behind and constraints on Federal HR management systems. Although some discussions may include references and illustrations concerning political appointees, the class will focus principally on the relevance of Federal HR laws and concepts for the career civil service, including career members of the Senior Executive Service.
