The Merit Protection Commissioner and the Public Service Commissioner have in place a memorandum of understanding for provision of staff necessary to help the Merit Protection Commissioner perform his functions. The Adviser to the Merit Protection Commissioner is the delegate of the Merit Protection Commissioner in the more substantial review matters.
