National Personnel Authority applies to jurisdiction Japan
The National Personnel Authority (人事院, Jinji-in), also abbreviated NPA, is a Japanese administrative agency. In order to ensure fairness, neutrality and uniformity in the personnel management of national civil servants and fulfill the function of compensating for restrictions on basic labor rights, it is an administrative committee that enacts, amends and abolishes rules of the National Personnel Authority, judges adverse disposition reviews, and makes recommendations regarding salaries.
It is a "Central Personnel Administration Agency" established through the National Public Service Act. In order to maintain the fairness of personnel administration, although the National Personnel Authority itself belongs to the Cabinet, its authority is exercised independently of the Cabinet.
