Within their layoff unit, an employee with permanent status may choose to accept a voluntary demotion rather than be laid off. Demotion options are limited to a classification, or if deleted, its successor, in which the employee held permanent status in the agency. Such demotion will not be permitted if it causes the layoff of an employee with greater retention points. (3-31-22)

a. Qualified. Employee must meet the classification's current minimum qualifications and any minimum qualification specialties. (3-31-22)

b. Exclusion. Limited service appointees are not eligible to take any voluntary demotion that would result in the displacement of other employees. However, voluntary demotions to a vacant position are allowed with the approval of the appointing authority. (3-31-22)

02. Acceptance. To accept a voluntary demotion rather than a layoff, the employee must notify the appointing authority in writing of their decision no later than three (3) working days after written notification of the layoff and opportunity to demote to a specific position. (3-31-22)
