Employment Policies and Procedures:

Promotion/Transfer to Staff Positions

Earlham is committed to promoting/transferring qualified internal candidates (i.e., current employees) to fill position vacancies. Promotion is defined as movement from a position with a given classification level to another position with a higher classification level. Transfer is defined as movement from a position with a given classification level to another position with an equal or lower classification level. If an employee is promoted or transfers to a position in another classification level, the employee’s wage rate will increase or decrease, at a rate equal to the difference between the original level’s 90 Day wage rate, and the new level’s 90 Day wage rate.

When a staff position vacancy is posted, current employees who want to be considered for promotion/transfer to the posted position should complete and submit an application to the Business Office (see Hiring and Recruiting Procedures).

Employees are encouraged to notify their respective supervisor when applying for a promotion or transfer. Employees are required to notify their respective supervisor when interviewed for a promotion or transfer. If an employee wishes to have copies of letters of recommendation from his/her personnel file attached to his/her application, it is the employee's responsibility to request this action by the Business Office.

Normally, an individual must have been in his/her current position for at least six (6) months in order to be considered for promotion/transfer. All promotions/transfers must be approved in advance by the Assistant Vice President for Business Operations, and appropriate Provost, Vice President for Financial Affairs, or Dean of ESR. In the case of staff being promoted to faculty positions, see the Policies & Procedures section of the Faculty Handbook.
