31060.6.5.2 Promotion/Transfer While on a T&D Assignment

• Promotion/transfer opportunities shall not be jeopardized as a result of a T&DTraining and Development assignment. Provisions for promoting/transferring the individual while on the training assignment are:

  • The individual clearly would have been considered for promotion/transfer if not on the training assignment.

  • In a promotional situation, the individual must be reachable on the eligible list and receive a bonafide job commitment.

• When a firm commitment is made in a promotional or transfer situation, the offering organization shall appoint the individual and transfer the employee back to the training location to complete the training assignment. This ensures the employee mandatory right of return to the offering organization/location.

• The new appointment shall not create an inappropriate training assignment. If the promotional/transfer class does not meet the training assignment criteria relative to the training class, the appointment shall not be authorized while on the training assignment; or the T&DTraining and Development assignment shall be terminated upon the appointment of the employee.
