Promotion
Supervisors of staff personnel are required to
make annual evaluations of the work of each employee
under their supervision. These evaluations will
be used as criteria for recommendation for promotion
of any employee. (Employees on probation receive
additional evaluation.) Subject to the understanding
that the best qualified person is desired for any
vacancy and recognizing the University commitment
to affirmative action, it is the general policy
of Eastern Michigan University to promote employees
within the ranks whenever it is possible and reasonable
to do so, and whenever the evaluation of an employee’s
work indicates that he or she has earned the right
to such promotion. Promotion can take place, of
course, only as openings occur in the ranks and
will, in general, be based on merit qualifications
of the employee, the requirements of the position,
and seniority.
Classification and position changes are made at
the beginning of each fiscal year. Exceptions to
this policy are contingent on approval of the Board
of Regents, and are considered for personnel who
have qualified for higher salary rate or classification
due to a change in job specification.
Individuals may be required to take examinations
by the Human Resources Office. Such
test results will be used to help determine
an individual's abilities and qualifications.
Progress reports and self-evaluation check lists
may be used by supervisory and administrative staff
for the purpose of carrying out the procedures outlined
above.
Additional regulations on this subject may also
be found and may supersede this policy for employees
covered by collective bargaining agreements.
