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.
