Navy Promotion Policy Shifts Pay to Reward Merit
The Navy Department will stop increasing salaries from the lump fund for promotions. Promotions will be achieved by readjusting existing pay, with reductions for less efficient workers. Draughtsmen face the impact as higher skilled roles may be replaced by standardized ship design. Four draughtsmen gain pay while four others lose. Workers fear favoritism and lack of appeal under the new rule.
