Promotion, transfer and training
All employees are entitled to opportunities for promotion, posting, or training, in accordance with their ability, experience and seniority. Age should not be a relevant consideration, unless it is a genuine job or occupational requirement. Employers should:
- examine the assessment criteria to evaluate employee job performance to ensure that employees are promoted on merit and that the criteria adopted are not discriminatory;
- where opportunities for promotion, training or transfer arise, inform all eligible employees of the conditions and procedures for application;
- keep records of notes taken in the course of considering candidates for promotion, transfer or training; and
- review any rules that restrict or preclude transfer between certain jobs and change them if they are found to be discriminatory.
