and advocate the merit policy for the
following reasons:

evidence only of continued service but are
surely no indication of vast experience.

realize that promotions in the organization are
on the basis of seniority alone, they lose all
enthusiasm for showing better performance)

average. If their differences are not

notified so that all potential candidates may
complete.

basis for promotion:

quantity

employee, the final approval should be with top management.
The personnel department can help at the stage by proposing
the names of prospective candidates out of the existing
employees in the organization and also submit their
performance appraisal record of the last few years to the
department head.
All promotion should be for a trail period. In case the
promoted person is not found capable of handling the job.
In case of promotion, the personnel department should
carefully follow the progress of the promoted employees.
A responsible person of the personnel department should
hold a brief interview with the promoted person and his
department head to determine whether everything is going on
well or not.

more and show interest in their work.

employees.

have to depend on mere seniority for that
advancement.

should be at least one step above his present salary.

for their promotion.

be made so that employees may know the various
avenues for their promotion.
