When an employee gets reclassified to a higher level position, do they automatically get promoted or do they have to apply for the job?
Civil Service Rules allow incumbents to be promoted without examination if they have been performing the duties for more than one year. This is most frequently the case. If the incumbent has not been performing the duties for more than a year, then they would need to “compete” for the position in a recruitment/examination.
