Advancement for health and regulatory inspectors in the federal government is based on the civil service promotion and salary structure. Advancement is automatic, usually at one-year intervals, for those people whose work is satisfactory. Additional education may also contribute to advancement to supervisory positions.
Advancements for health and regulatory inspectors in state and local government and in private industry are often similar to those offered at the federal level.
