POL 5.335 Lateral Transfers
A lateral transfer occurs when an employee is transferred to another position within the same pay grade based on position responsibilities. Position changes that remain in the same pay grade will be considered a lateral transfer if the employee:
- moves to a new department at the same base pay rate and classification, or,
- moves to a new department in a new classification that has the same pay range, or,
- moves within the same department to a new classification that has the same pay range.
Lateral transfers will not be accompanied by a pay increase.
Kirtland’s administration may transfer an employee voluntarily from one position to another when it is in the best interest of the college. Such transfer may occur within a department or between departments.
An employee will not be transferred to a new or revised position until the position has been analyzed, described via a formal job description, evaluated by the Director of Human Resources, and approved by the President.
