2. Promotion vs Title Change
Promotion entails change in prefix/no prefix (for example Associate to No Prefix or No Prefix to Sr.) – mostly tied to years of service and performance.
Title Change entails a change in title due to addition of or reorganized responsibilities, not just years of service. Title change requires a TEI be filled out and scored in addition to supporting documentation. Title change DOES not cover an entirely new position, a search must be done for permanent new positions.
