D. Promotions and Transfers

The university supports and encourages all staff to enhance their professional development and to seek promotions among departments. Inevitably, however, staff changes cause disruptions, and the university discourages "job-hopping” by requiring staff to work a one-year minimum in a position before relocating except under extenuating circumstances.

As a supervisor, you are responsible to recognize qualified staff for promotion and/or transfer, but you
will be given the opportunity to determine whether a transfer will cause hardship. Also, you may be
called upon to give a formal or informal opinion on the qualifications of a particular member of your
staff to assume a new position. The Human Resources department is available to help you in this task.
