Homepage A. Definitions A transfer is defined as the movement from one position to another position, as previously established through an approved Personnel Requisition, which is in the same salary grade and which does not involve a salary increase. A transfer may be within a department or between departments or divisions of the University. A promotion is defined as the movement from one position to another position, as previously established through an approved Personnel Requisition, which is in a higher salary grade and which involves a salary increase. A promotion may be within a department or between departments or divisions of the University.
Every effort is made to fill vacancies by promoting qualified staff members.
Job vacancies are posted on bulletin boards throughout the University and are listed in the Gazette, as well as placed on telephone job lines maintained by divisional Human Resources Offices. Staff members are encouraged to maintain an awareness of vacancies and to seek improved job opportunities for which they qualify. An expression of interest in a transfer or promotion either by submitting an application as a result of a job posting or through discussions with a staff member's supervisor, will in no way have any adverse effect on a staff member's status in his or her current position. The University may initiate transfers or promotions at any time in response to the needs of the organization and the needs of staff members. Exceptions require the approval of the divisional Human Resources Office.
