SUBJECT: One-Grade Promotion Policy
1. At its meeting on 30 April 1959 the Career Council discussed the
use of grades G3-6, 8 and 10 as additional steps in the promotion ladder in
the career management system of the various Career Services. It was agreed
that these grades should be used Agency-wide on an experimental basis with
the understanding that jobs in these areas would not be reclassified, but
that promotions from GS-5, 7 and 9 would proceed by single step progression
to grades 03-7, 9 and U.
2. In order to implement the decision of the Council, Agency Notice
was published on 15 May 1959. This notice provides that promotion
actions for all staff personnel will be limited to one-grade advancements,
exceptions to be made by the Director of Personnel in response to requests
from Heads of Career Services. This notice expires 1 June 1960.
3. It appears timely that a review be made of the one-grade promotion
policy with a view toward its reaffirmation, modification, or rescission.
The Director of Personnel intends to place the matter on the agenda of a
Career Council meeting in the next thirty days.
4. Members of the Council are being notified of this intent in order
that they may have time to have the matter studied thoroughly prior to the
proposed Council discussion.
