Practice question
An employee’s file contains only an old bachelor’s transcript. A proposed promotion requires a master’s degree, which the employee has since earned. The HR office says the old record necessarily proves the new educational requirement and no updated qualifying record need be submitted. What do the 2025 rules require in this situation?
- Every promotion permanently prohibits updated records.
- The old bachelor’s transcript automatically becomes a master’s transcript.
- The agency may invent a degree not shown by records.
- Updated scholastic or academic records must evidence the required higher educational qualification when it is not shown by the existing file.
- A private congratulatory card always replaces academic proof.
