What actions violates the Prohibited Personnel Practice?

Prohibited Personnel Practices (PPP) include actions such as discriminating against employees or applicants based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics, knowingly false statements or representations made in hiring or promotion, and retaliating against employees for whistleblowing or exercising their rights. Additionally, PPPs encompass coercing employees to engage in political activities or failing to provide a fair and open competition for job opportunities. These practices undermine the integrity of the federal workforce and violate established personnel regulations.
