Non-Attorneys i. Any non-attorney employee covered by this Agreement shall be eligible to request a promotion to “Senior” level within their existing position after attaining five (5) years in their current position, a substantially comparable position outside of Lambda Legal, or a combination of the two. In contrast to the definition of YRE set forth in Section 3(B) of Article 18 (Salaries and Wages), a substantially comparable position shall be one that possesses a similar level of responsibility, and not just simply one related to the same or similar type of work. ii.
