scope:

Goddard Space Flight Center's new career promotion process was approved by the Center Director and the Executive Council on December 17, 1998, and adopted following completion of the Center's responsibility to recognized labor unions on February 23, 1999. This document describes the key features of the new process. Because of the magnitude of changes incorporated in the process redesign, features of the process will be implemented in a phased manner as the developmental work necessary to implement each feature is completed. Future updates of this GPG will incorporate additional information as it is developed and implemented.

APPLICABILITY. This Instruction applies to all organizations of the Goddard Space Flight Center. It will be followed by all supervisors at GSFC in considering their employees for career promotions to all grades up to and including GS-15 and will be the only criteria and process used in that consideration.
