When individuals are rendered ineligible for promotion, what happens to their projected promotion?

When individuals are rendered ineligible for promotion, their projected promotion will be canceled. This cancellation occurs because eligibility criteria are typically established to ensure that only those who meet specific qualifications, performance standards, and other requirements are considered for advancement. If an individual is deemed ineligible, it implies they no longer meet the necessary criteria, leading to the cessation of any promotion process that may have been anticipated.

Promotions often rely heavily on a candidate's current standing within the organization, including performance evaluations, disciplinary records, and other factors influencing their suitability for a higher position. Therefore, if someone becomes ineligible for any reason—such as failing to meet performance benchmarks or facing disciplinary action—the promotion cannot move forward, making cancellation the appropriate response in these circumstances.
