Promotion Decision Log & Audit-Trail Workbook

The Promotion Decision Log & Audit-Trail Workbook is the standing register of every promotion decision your organization makes across cycles: nominee, from/to level, cycle, the criteria-met summary, committee members, outcome, rationale and revisit date — one row per decision, held in one place. Where a single-case packet argues one nomination on the day, this workbook is the record HR and legal read back across cycles when an outcome is appealed or advancement practice is questioned. A defensibility check flags any decision entered with no rationale or no criteria evidenced, so gaps in the record surface before someone else finds them. No pay, increase or offer figure appears anywhere — the register is criteria and rationale only, and every figure in it is one you entered.
