Rule 2 - DEFINITIONS |
§ 2.49. Reduction.
"Reduction" means a lowering in rank or grade, except that removal from an assignment that is compensated in part by a bonus, shall not be deemed a demotion. "Reduction" and "demotion" are synonymous. Notwithstanding the above, for other than disciplinary reasons an employee may be temporarily assigned the duties of a lower rank to avoid layoff of the employee. Reasonable efforts shall be made to limit the term of such temporary assignment, and in no event shall the assignment exceed one year except through mutual consent of the employee and the appointing authority.
