    (A) Overview

    (1) This policy provides for posting and advertising of vacancies in classified positions at the university. This policy does not apply to any positions covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

    (2) Ohio university will inform classified employees of transfer and promotional opportunities through departmental and university-wide postings, using a variety of communications methods, when a vacancy occurs.

    (3) Planning unit managers will give first consideration to those qualified internal applicants. If no qualified applicants are available, external applicants can be considered for hire.

    (4) The only employees eligible to apply for a transfer or promotion are full-time, part-time, and intermittent permanent employees. An employee is not eligible for transfer under this policy for a period of one year after accepting a transfer under this policy. An employee is eligible to be promoted under this policy only after satisfactorily completing the probationary period for his or her current position. Transfer under this policy does not initiate a new probationary period, but promotion does.

    (5) Transfers resulting from reorganizations to avoid layoffs will take precedence over this policy, as described in policy 40.046.
