Internal Promotion Requires Immediate EP-1 update?

ashokyadav

Hi There,

Could you please help me understand if internal movement (software Developer to Senior Software Developer) within a company requires immediate EP update? or title on the Employment pass can be updated with following renewal?

Are company not allowed to promote employee to new role without immediately changing EP?

P.S : Senior Software Developer position is also a new position in organization and it did not existed before.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Ashok

Thank you for your reply. I understand it is a should have requirement.
Is it still ok if updating to MDEC and updating EP is done in 3 to 6 months of time after employee is promoted and salary revision done ?
