The prohibited personnel practice that addresses improper hiring practices where agency officials give preference to one prospect over another is known as "favoritism" or "nepotism." Specifically, it falls under 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(6), which prohibits any action that discriminates against individuals in hiring or promotion based on personal relationships rather than merit. This practice undermines fairness and equal opportunity in the federal hiring process.
If the law calls for a Veteran's Preference to be given (as it is with most government positions) - OR - the employer voluntarily follows such a practice in their own business, this is NOT a prohibited practice.
Yes, violating a veteran's hiring preference can be considered a prohibited personnel practice under the U.S. Office of Personnel Management guidelines. These practices include discriminatory actions against veterans in federal hiring processes, as veterans are afforded certain preferences to ensure they have fair access to job opportunities. Agencies are required to comply with these preferences, and failure to do so may lead to legal repercussions and corrective actions.
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.
The preposition "from" typically follows the word "prohibited." For example: "Access to the restricted area is prohibited from all unauthorized personnel."

If it is not prohibited by personnel rules or prohibited in their employment contract contract, it is assumed that they could. However, no one is REQUIRED to employ them either.
A prohibited personnel practice occurs when a federal employee takes or fails to take a personnel action that violates the rights of individuals. An example would be if a supervisor retaliates against an employee for filing a complaint about discrimination by denying them a promotion. This action undermines fair employment practices and is prohibited under the Whistleblower Protection Act. Such practices can lead to disciplinary actions against the offending employee.
