Promotions, Reclassification of Position and Transfers
It is the policy of WPI to promote persons in all job classifications without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation or handicap and to ensure that promotional decisions are in accord with principles of equal employment opportunity by imposing only valid requirements for promotional opportunities.
The University will attempt to fill vacancies from within. If you are capable of performing higher levels of work and assuming greater responsibility, you may apply for, and be considered for, a promotion to a position of greater opportunity, challenge and pay.
The following factors are considered for a promotion:
- Your ability to accept increased, more complex levels of responsibility
- Your job knowledge, training and experience
- Demonstrated initiative and efficiency
- Attendance
- Your overall attitude toward the job and the University
Generally, a request for a promotion or transfer will not be considered until you have completed at least one (1) year in your present position.
The promotion and/or transfer within or between departments is arranged between Department Heads and the Office of Human Resources in conjunction with the individual staff member to be promoted or transferred.
Information relating to current vacancies can be obtained from the Office of Human Resources. Human Resources is responsible for the coordination of all internal and external advertising. Job vacancies are posted for ten (10) days on the bulletin board located on the ground floor of Stratton Hall and a copy is sent, for posting, to each department on campus.
