If the employee is promoted from a class for which there is no special entry rate into a class which has a special entry rate, the employee's salary may be increased by the amount of the promotional increase plus the percent difference between the hiring rate and the authorized special entry rate. The Department of Human Resources and the Office of State Personnel must approve exceptions to these provisions in advance prior to any commitments to the employee involved. Only in well-documented cases such as severe labor market conditions, unusual change in scope of work, or extraordinary qualifications will salary increase exceptions be considered. An employee must meet the promotional position's minimum education and experience requirements, or their equivalent, as appropriate, as established by the State Classification System. Implementation Form PD-105, completed by Human Resources Department, is required to effect promotions.
All actions are subject to the availability of funds in accordance with budget regulations.
Effective Date Permanent promotions within the University normally are effective on the date the employee assumes the duties of the new position or on the first day of the pay period nearest to that date.
