Comments:

I agree with your overall concept and design but have some reservations about the appeals system. I am concerned that vindictive and uncaring bosses can use this system in a really harmful and unfair method. I know of bosses that are already talking about customizing their workforce and know that of another that is looking to make room for friends. Of course I can prove nothing and the bosses do nothing illegal in how they conduct their business affairs and that is the hardest issue to understand. How will the worker be able to react and defend themselves against a move to remove them from the workforce, and how could they get another government position under such conditions?
