Examples of Adding Progression Rules
You can enable or restrict progression between grades and steps using progression rules. You configure the rules using the Eligibility Profiles task.
For progression rules, you want to create participant profiles with either the Global or Compensation usage. You associate these rules with progression grade ladders using the Progression Grade Ladder task.
These scenarios show at what level you apply various rules to enable or restrict progression.
Minimum Time Required to Progress
You want factory workers to progress automatically though steps. You create a progression grade ladder with step-level rules that define how much time needs to elapse between progressions. Here's how you apply the rules in the ladder.
Rule Level | Example Rule |
---|---|
Ladder: Western Region Manufacturing | None |
Grade: Job Assembly II | None |
Step 1 | 6 Months in a Step |
Step 2 | 6 Months in a Step |
Step 3 | 6 Months in a Step |
Performance Rating Required to Progress
You want administrative workers to progress to the next grade level only if their performance evaluation meets or exceeds expectations. You create a progression grade ladder where the final step for each grade includes a progression rule that evaluates worker performance. Here's how you apply the rules in the ladder.
Position | Example Rule |
---|---|
Ladder: Support Services | None |
Grade: Administrative Clerk I | None |
Step 1 | 6 Months in a Step |
Step 2 | 6 Months in a Step |
Step 3 |
6 Months in a Step Meets or Exceeds Evaluation |
Certification Required to Progress
You don't want programmers to progress to the next step, unless they've a technical certificate. You create a progression grade ladder that requires a certificate to progress to the next step. Here's how you apply the rules in the ladder.
Position | Example Rule |
---|---|
Ladder: Software Developers | None |
Grade: Programmer III | None |
Step 1 | Java SE Fundamentals Certificate |
Step 2 | Java SE Advanced Certificate |
Step 3 | Java SE Optimization Certificate |
