The Department's Merit Promotion Plan contains
basic policy and key principles for filling positions covered by merit promotion.
Supervisors of employees should be familiar with the contents of the Merit Promotion Plan.
The Merit Promotion Plan contains provisions, such as establishing the area of
consideration, rating and ranking criteria, selection procedures, records maintenance and
grievance procedures. Guidance for implementing merit promotion policy is contained in the Department Implementation Guide. Bureaus use the Guide to develop specific operational procedures to be followed in implementing the Department plan. The Department Merit Promotion Plan, Implementation Guide, and Bureau' Implementation
guidance are reviewed periodically for currency and responsiveness to increasing
flexibilities provided by the Office of Personnel Management and
the changing needs of managers and employees. Changes to the Merit Promotion Program
cannot be implemented until obligations to negotiate with the local labor union have been
accomplished. |
