Employee Promotions

Summary​

Employee supports designation updates and recognizes Promotion as a timeline event type. A dedicated promotion request, approval, effective date, eligibility rule, or compensation change was not confirmed.

Audience​

  • HR managers, HR executives, and HR administrators
  • Business analysts, product owners, solution architects, and QA engineers

Purpose​

Distinguish the available designation/history foundation from a complete promotion business process.

Business promotion relationship​

Dashed relationships are not confirmed end-to-end behavior.

Confirmed foundations​

  • An employee can be assigned a different active designation.
  • Designations may include grade and level information.
  • Promotion is a recognized employee timeline category that can be recorded.
  • A designation is organization master data, not an Identity role.

Requires confirmation​

  • What qualifies as a promotion rather than a designation correction or lateral move.
  • Eligibility, initiator, recommendation, approval, effective date, and cancellation.
  • Whether grade or level must increase.
  • Department and manager effects.
  • Compensation, payroll, benefits, performance, notification, document, and workflow integration.
  • Whether designation update and promotion timeline entry must be atomic.

Evidence basis​

The Employee model confirms designation updates and timeline vocabulary. No promotion-specific business command or process was found.
