Job Promotional Opportunities

Employee Handbook Section 5

Job promotional opportunities provide Western Michigan University employees with information about available non-instructional job openings. These announcements support employee career development and advancement. Current job openings are updated daily and posted:

At Careers and Job Postings.
On a bulletin board in the hall just outside of the Human Resources office.

Benefits-eligible employees may apply for posted jobs by completing an internal application, which is part of the online application system at Careers and Job Postings. Please note that new University employees may apply for posted jobs only after they have successfully completed their initial six-month probation period.

Pre-employment testing

Some positions at the University require a pre-employment test, which may include drug testing. Should employees apply for a transfer to such a position, they will be asked to successfully complete these tests after receiving a conditional job offer and before commencing employment. Human Resources arranges pre-employment exams at the Sindecuse Health Center, at no cost to the applicant. Other job-related skills tests may be used to assess applicants' skills.

Transfer notice

Employees are expected to notify their immediate supervisor in writing at the time they accept another job at the University. The persons in charge of the units involved will decide the actual transfer date.

Transfer pay adjustments

Please see the administrative guidelines at Staff Compensation System for details or contact Your HR Business Partner.
