Non-graduate eligible for promotion for past performance?

Hi,

Basically if your qualification is appropriate for the vacant position then only you will be considered, because a sofar as my knowledge goes every designation has a required set of qualifications no matter how great performer the employee is.

As far as the consequences are concerned it solely depends on the management what decision they take.

Nway all the best........

the basic requirment is graduation.. but the degree is almost over with just 2 papers left as suplimentry .. so in this case is it possible to give a probation time to clear the pending 2 papers ??

Hi,

If the person is a good performer and does not have a degree, tell him that he would be promoted if he completes his degree. The second option is to offer him monetary assistance to help him complete his degree. This would also be a retention tool.

Before, you do any of the above, check if the higher position really requires a degree!!! or even an under grad can do the task.

Thanks

Hi,

If the basic requirement is degree, tell him that he must acquire one before he is considered for the position.

One paper or two pending is not the issue. The fact is that he is not a degree holder. Get him to understand this.

Also, it's not appropriate to wait for HR to overlook the fact.

Thanks

Even if Bill Gate didn't accquired the basic degree till last year.
Promote him eventually if he is performing well.

HI

In private organisations, these rules can be altered.

What is there in a degree if he s performing exceedingly well and if the management feels he can do well in the new job as well.

Without clearing the paers he has done well.

So what is the problem

We should have considered all these facts before his joining

I have in my career overlooked the basic criteria in many instances.

Qualification might help

But it is not all

Promote him without any conditions attached

hi siva

Does this actually works ??
Who is responsible for altering the rules ??
Is it someone from the HR team or refrence from the boss will help ??
What can a person do from his end to remain a part of the company ??
Can He be provided with a probation period so that he can clear his remaining papers ??
Kindly put some light on this as one of my known is in grief-stricken he needs help badly and this is d best way i can do it..

Hi,
There are two scenarios.
1. Either he gets promoted without completing his degree
2. you wait for him to complete his degree to promote him.

I would ask these questions.
1. Why do you want to promote him? Is it because you have a role for him to perform, or he is getting promoted just like that?
If the first case, dont wait for him to complete the degree. If otherwise, i assume, that your organization is not going to lose much by not promoting him, then insist on completing the degree.

2. Can your organization afford having this person quit (worst scenario). If yes, again insist on completing his degree?

Also evaluate what is that you gain out of him completing his degree as an organization. I would suggest that you promote him and link his compensation revision based on his completion of degree. Commit to him, what is he required to do and set that as a target under his KRAs.

Hope this helps.
