This procedure is to reaffirm the library's policy on promotion or transfer of employees with less than six months' tenure in a current position.

1. To help achieve efficiency and stability, it is in the library's best interest to discourage applications for promotion or transfer from employees who have worked less than six months in the library system.
2. Standing exceptions include the following instances:
   
   1. A part-time employee seeking a full-time or designated three-fourths or half-time position, or
   2. An employee with more than six months of service in the system, but who may not have six months of service in his or her present position, and whose past and current supervisors give positive performance evaluations, and whose previous and/or current position is similar in nature to the position to which the employee wishes to transfer or promote.
3. Other exceptions will be made to further the library’s desire to continue to select the best-qualified applicant for any position.
