Career Ladder Overview
A pre-established plan allowing an employee to grow in their career.
The employee meets goals over a set period of time (usually 6 months to 1 year), leading to increased responsibility.
For departments in need of a higher level of work and responsibility from an employee, and when and funding is available,
a career ladder is a valid pathway to promotion. However, career ladders are not available for every position.
Individual Ladder
Move an employee to a new title in a different series.
For example, a department’s Administrative Associate I could become a
Computer Technician I by following a plan developed by the supervisor and approved by HRS.
Pre-Approved Series Ladders
Give an employee a higher level of responsibility within their current position.
For example, the Administrative Associate I would become an Administrative Associate II with a corresponding pay-raise.
