Promotion, demotion, transfer,
and separation :
Promotions and demotions are useful management tools for rewarding and disciplining employees.
Transfers may facilitate training activities.
Promotion:
A promotion is an assignment to a new job at a higher level and usually at a higher salary.
Promotions are an effective means of rewarding employees.
Promotions must be given based on both previous performance and preparedness for new position.
Demotions:
A demotion is an assignment to a new job at a lower level and often at a lower salary.
PETER PRINCIPAL: people will be promoted until they reach their level of incompetency.
Positive point: demotions may also serve disciplinary purpose. It may force employee to deal with their
problems.
Negative point: it may make the employee’s attitude about the job even more negative.
This negativity can spread among coworkers and create serious problems that can lead to an out right dismissal.
Transfers:
A transfer is an horizontal or lateral movement from one job to another of equal or similar
responsibilities and
salary.
Benefit: employees can learn new skills and increase their knowledge of the company.
Separation:
A separation occurs when an employee leaves the company. It can occur for many reasons:
Layoff : a layoff happens when the company faces financial difficulties and a decline in sales
of production. The company may arrange small payments to employees who are lead off to
lessen their financial burden.
Involuntary termination : or firing is a permenant separation that is initiated by the company.
Reasons: poor performance, breaking work rules, excessive absenteeism or similar problems
Employers cite the legal concept of employment at will when they fire employees.
Voluntary terminations: are permenant separations that occur when employees find reasons to leave the company.
When valuable employees resign, employers may offer increases in salary or promtions to help persuade these
employees to saty in the company.
Retirement: is still another reason d-for permanent separation from employment.
It is viewed as a reward for employees who have had long, productive careers.
An effective manager will arrange for retiring employee to assist in training the replacement.
Discrimination :
The most two important laws are the civil right act of 1964 and the equal employment
opportunity act (EEOA) of 1972, both of these acts were intended to end discrimination in the
work place, in hiring, firing, compensating, training etc..
Sexual harassment and age based discrimination is covered by the civil right act, and the US
court used deadlines from the EEOC to define sexual harassment which covers unwanted
touching, suggestive remarks etc..
Example: Martine Marietta Corporation, it was notified by the EEOC that its Denver based
astronautics unit discriminated older workers when laying off employees. At least 9 age
discrimination involving 21 formers employees had been filled against the company.
Employee’s safety:
To foster a safe and healthy work environment OSHA has
established thousands of standars
with which companies must comply.
This agency aim at the promotion and maintenance of highest
degree of physical; mental
and social well-being of workers in all occupations.
Most companies adhere to this law, some still wonder if this would prevent employers from
hiring entry-level workers who lack professional skills.
Other issues:
There are further laws important to the area of human resource
management that cover benefits programs like the employees
retirement income security ;the immigration reform and control
there is an act that made it illegal to hire persons who do not hold
valid work authorization ,there are also some laws that gives
employees the right to bargain collectively for wages benefits and
conditions
The managers must be alert to employment laws, because these
laws have a great impact on a company’s financial health
