Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. The appointing authority shall determine by class, subject to review by the Director, whether demotion shall be afforded employees as an option in lieu of layoff. At the request of the appointing authority, a permanent employee shall, in lieu of layoff, be afforded the option of demotion within the same department to a position in a lower class, provided that no such demotion shall in turn require the layoff or demotion from such lower class of any employee whose layoff rating is at least as high as that of the demoting employee. A probationary employee may be afforded the opportunity to accept a demotion within the same department to a position in a lower class provided no such demotion shall in turn require the layoff of any employee in the lower class. Such probationer shall not become permanent in the lower class by this action except by completing a new full probation period in such lower class.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. Any employee who demotes as part of the layoff procedure in Article 15 of this Agreement shall retain his/her current rate of pay or the rate of pay at the top of the pay range of the class to which he/she demotes, whichever is less. However, an employee may continue to receive a rate of pay in excess of the maximum upon the recommendation of the Appointing Authority and approval of the Commissioner of Minnesota Management & Budget. Employees covered by this Agreement who demote within a seniority unit as a result of a single layoff shall be treated consistently.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. If there are no vacant positions to which a regular employee who is to be laid off can transfer and/or demote and transfer, then such regular employee shall have the right to demote to any class within his department/agency in which that employee previously held permanent status. Bumping shall not be restricted to classes within a bargaining unit. Should an employee bump into a class in another bar- gaining unit, then the layoff procedures applicable to that bargaining unit shall be controlling. There does not need to be a vacant position within the classification for an employee to exercise this right. If, as a result of the exercise of this right, layoffs must occur in the classification to which that employee was demoted, then such layoff shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the agreement which is controlling for the classification.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. An employee who demotes as part of the layoff procedure in Article 17 of this Agreement shall retain their current rate of pay or the rate of pay at the top of the pay range of the class to which the employee demotes, whichever is less.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. In lieu of layoff, the department head may offer a permanent employee a demotion to any class for which the employee is qualified. Employees demoted in lieu of layoff pursuant to this paragraph shall not be eligible for the “Y” rating procedure. An employee who accepts a demotion in lieu of layoff shall have the right of restoration to his or her former class when an opening occurs and his or her ranking sequence warrants restoration subject to the provisions of Section 26.4 below.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. An employee who accepts a demotion in lieu of layoff will be subject to the provisions of Section 11.08.C. Such an employee retains primary layoff rights in the class from which he/she accepted demotion.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. A regular classified employee who is demoted in lieu of layoff has the same reemployment rights in the employee's higher classification as an employee who is laid off from the same classification.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. If a regular employee, who is to be laid off, does not transfer and/or demote and transfer, then such regular employee shall have the right to demote to any class/rank within which that employee previously held status. If that regular employee has not previously held permanent status in the classification/rank to which said employee must demote, then that employee must serve a regular probationary period in that new class/rank. There does not need to be a vacant position within the class/rank for an employee to exercise this right. If, as a result of the exercising of this right, layoffs must occur in the class/rank to which that employee demoted, then such layoff shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. (NOTE: All employees demoted involuntarily to a lower classification/rank will be paid in the lower class/rank in accordance with Section 508 of this Agreement.) Sec. 2307 REINSTATEMENT:
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. If a regular employee who is to be laid off does not transfer and/or demote and transfer, then such regular employee shall have the right to demote to any job code within the department/agency in which that employee previously held permanent status. There does not need to be a vacant position within the classification for an employee to exercise this right. Such bumping as provided for in this Section shall not be restricted to job codes within a bargaining unit. Should an employee bump into a job code in another bargaining unit, then the layoff procedures applicable to that bargaining unit shall be controlling. If, as a result of the exercise of this right, layoffs must occur in the classification to which that employee demoted, then such layoff shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the agreement which is controlling for the classification.
