Progression Program
Progression Program
The City of Tulsa's Progression Program allows employees to
expand his/her job duties, giving the employee the opportunity to
advance into higher pay grades based on the acquisition of
additional knowledge, skills and abilities.
"What are progression
requirements?"
Requirements are tailored for specific progressions and outlined
in each criterion document (progression documents and forms
available via the intranet). All progressions require a combination
of education, training and experience.
"Are there other requirements for progression
eligibility?"
An employee must have currently received a proficient or above
performance rating; must not have used in excess of 10 days sick
leave in the twelve months prior to progression; and must have
accrued 2 days sick leave for each year of employment
(approved family medical leave excluded).
"Are all jobs eligible to be
progressed?"
No, the job must be within certain job families, a group of
closely related jobs. (A current listing of progressions is
included for your convenience.) Second, policy states that
classifications with supervisory responsibilities will not be a
part of a progression family. Third, only a job whose
duties can be expanded and developed is eligible to be progressed.
Human Resources makes the final determination regarding job
duties.
"How can I afford to go to school?"
The City offers to all regular full-time employees
with at least 90 days of service a $600.00 per fiscal year
educational reimbursement that includes $60.00 per course for
required textbooks. Reimbursements currently are not
available.
"How will I, as an employee, be
rewarded?"
Once progression is approved by the Human Resources department,
the employee is eligible for a pay increase that varies between
5-15% depending on the specific progression, not to exceed the
maximum of the pay range.
"Once progressed, does the employee have to maintain
a certain work level?"
If an employee does not maintain his/her classification level or
receives a performance rating below proficient, the employee will
be reduced one pay level.
"How do I get started?"
Contact your supervisor to discuss whether your job is eligible to
be progressed and to determine the requirements. When the
requirements to progress are completed, non Public Works employees
should submit all progression forms and documents to Human
Resources, Comp and Classification Section, City Hall, 5th floor.
Public Works employees should submit their paperwork to PW Human
Resources, City Hall, 8th floor.
Many of these progressions listed are currently on hold.
Please contact the Employment Office for further
information.
