    Hi , hoping for some guidance.
    In my company we are aware of a new management position that the grapevine suggests will definately be filled from outside the company. At least one of the existing staff is currently in a role that would deal with a lot of the new roels probable duties.

    Is there any obligation on the employer to advertise internally first ...the company manual seems to be silent on the issue ?

    Thanks a million.

    No, there's no obligation on the employer to advertise the position at all or hire internally to fill it.

    There's no requirement. In some Unionised workplaces there'll be agreements about this and some companies will chose to promote internal candidates by preference, but they don't have to legally.

    The staff who feel that they may be suited to the role should show some initiative and enquire about it with a view to applying and competing against the external candidates for the job.
