Flying PIC vs SIC

Here's the question: Large Corporate Flight Dept with all Pilots Type Rated in their aircraft meeting the FOM guidance for PIC. How does your company handle assigning the PIC for the flight? Is it done by seniority or rotated so as to give every pilot the exposure to that duty station? Is anyone aware of any official (NBAA etc) guidance on this subject.

Seems to me that if the PIC is designated based on seniorty alone and assuming low turnover, you could get into a situation where a qualified PIC doesn't fly in that position for a long time. What happens when that individual has to fly with a contract pilot or new hire?

Anyones two cents would be welcome.

Thanks
