Current through March 20, 2024
An employee may receive a disciplinary demotion per Chapter 13, Section 004.02, or be demoted due to unsatisfactory performance during a secondary probation period per Chapter 5, Section 003. In cases in which the employee accepts a demotion to avoid being laid off, voluntarily requests a demotion, or, is reclassified to a lower pay grade, a non-disciplinary demotion may result. The employee will have the right to elect demotion as the alternate to a layoff. The right to elect will be granted to employees in accordance with provisions of Chapter 12 of this Title.
004.01 In all cases involving demotion, the employee must meet the requirements of the position to which he/she is demoted, and except as provided in layoff procedure, no employees in a lower level position will be laid off by reason of a demotion action involving another employee.
004.02 An employee who is demoted, either voluntarily or involuntarily, from a higher pay grade to a lower pay grade, will have his/her pay reduced by five percent (5%) for demotions of one pay grade, seven and one-half percent ( 7.5%) for demotions of two pay grades, or ten percent (10%) for demotions of three or more pay grades. Under no circumstances would the employee's salary be less than the minimum rate of the new pay grade or more than the maximum of the new pay grade.
