Introduction
All state departments are required, per Government Code section 19400, to establish and maintain an effective Upward Mobility Program for state employees in LPEL classifications. Upward Mobility is a planned development and advancement of employees in LPEL classifications to Entry-Level Technical, Professional, and Administrative (ELTPA) classifications. Upward Mobility is not, as commonly thought, the promotion of employees through the ranks, from working level classifications to supervisory and managerial classifications. The Upward Mobility Program assists employees in LPEL classifications in developing their skills and promoting to ELTPA classifications, which are more challenging and generally higher paying.
Statement
Each state department is responsible for implementing and establishing an effective Upward Mobility Program as outlined in the Upward Mobility Program Guidelines. Each department's appointing power shall develop an Upward Mobility policy statement regarding the department’s commitment to provide upward mobility opportunities for employees in LPEL classifications; develop an Upward Mobility plan, program procedures, and program participation application and selection criteria; and advertise how employees can access information and participate in Upward Mobility Program services.
In addition, each department shall appoint an Upward Mobility Program Coordinator whose primary role is to administer the Upward Mobility Program, assist employees with Upward Mobility plan development, establish departmental Upward Mobility goals, and assist the EEO Officer in coordinating, monitoring, and annually reporting the department’s Upward Mobility Program efforts to CalHR through the Workforce Analysis.
