There are eligibility requirements for all Career Ladders, which must be met before the initiation of a program can be approved. These requirements are listed on section II of the Career Ladder Request Form. Once the manager has verified eligibility, and the employee and the manager have mutually agreed that a Career Ladder plan is appropriate, they will work together to develop an action plan for attaining all education and experience requirements and acquiring the specific competencies that the employee will need to be successful at the higher responsibility level.
Once this part of the process is completed the manager will enter an estimated date for completion of the Career Ladder onto the form. The manager may also include an estimated salary increase for the employee upon completion, within specified guidelines. The signed Career Ladder Request Form should be sent to the appropriate Dean or VP for approval and then forwarded on to HR for review and final approval. Once the manager has been notified by HR that the Career Ladder is approved, the employee can begin working on the development plan.
