Promotion dispute
A workplace dispute about an appointment, promotion, acting role, or advancement opportunity where an employee says the process or outcome was unfair.
Definition
Promotion disputes often turn on the advertised criteria, shortlisting records, interviews, scoring, panel notes, qualifications, experience, past performance, equity considerations, consistency, reasons given, and whether the matter is an unfair labour practice or discrimination dispute. The documents should show the process, not only the employee's disappointment with the result.
