How should I think about promotions?

Anonymous - February 5, 2019
Back to Ask the Experts

I am pretty familiar with OFCCP regulations, but I can’t find good information about how to think about promotions.

In our current system, we do not promote employees in the usual fashion. What we do is open the position internally, have people apply, and then give the job to the best qualified person. This is very taxing on time but is the only way we know how to stay compliant.

There must be a mechanism where federal contractors can promote people without going through that whole process. Am I reading into it too much? Or are we truly playing by the book? Is there a process I can implement so we can shoulder-tap and stay compliant?
