CHAPTER NINE

PROMOTIONS, TRANSFERS AND SEPARATION

Transfer is a lateral movement within the same grade, from one job
to another. It may result in changes in duties and responsibilities,
supervisory and working conditions, but not necessarily salary.
 Promotion is the advancement of an employee from one job level to
a higher one, with increase in salary.
 Demotion is the opposite of promotion. It is a downward movement
from one job level to another, leading to a reduction in rank, status,
pay and responsibility.
 Separation is a removal of an employee from payroll. It needs to be
handled with sensitivity, discretion, and speed so that exits can hap­
pen without injuring the sentiment and burning bridges with the
employee.
