What is ment by "Promotion"?

Question

if a person get increase its salary will it be a Promotion

or

if a person get higher designation without change in responsibilities, will it be a promotion?

Answer 1

It can be either one.

Most times a promotion entails more responsibilities, along with increased pay. Sometimes an employer will "underfill" a position in order to give a person who's not yet qualified time to learn the skills needed or to complete education. When a position is underfilled the employee may move into greater responsibility at the same rate of pay, with a promise of a future raise.

I would question the motives of an employer who wants an employee to move into a position with more stress and responsibility without offering a pay increase. Once you are in the position, if an agreement isn't clearly rached, good luck ever getting the raise!

Answer 2

I don't think if a person gets a salary increase it is necessarily a promotion. A higher designation may be a promotion, as it is a step higher up the ladder.

Answer 3

To be promoted is to go up in the hierarchy (e.g better job, more responsibilities), usually with an accompanying increase in salary (or more perks, etc).

If someone gets a pay hike then they are not "promoted" (unless their job role changes for the better). I'd still call it a promotion if you got a better rank and earned more per hour yet had a lower monthly sallary due to decreased working hours.

Answer 4

it's when a person gets a higher rank in his work, or gets to a higher level. of course the salary will increase and he/she will get many other benefits.

Answer 5

yes
