Reclassification to a Lower Level. The Company may alter employee work assignments or reassign employees to lower-level work for which the Company deems they are qualified, and effect commensurate reclassification to lower level, either as required to comply with the layoff procedure described in 8.3 or to accomplish reorganizations of work deemed by the Company to be necessitated by changing business conditions. When suitable work adjustments or employee reassignments are determined impracticable by the Company, misclassifications shall constitute surpluses as defined in 8.1(a)(4) and shall be resolved in accordance with Article 8. Reclassifications to lower levels shall be subject to the limitations set forth in 22.6(a)(1) through 22.6(a)(9). Additionally, the limitations set forth in 22.6(b) shall apply to in-place reclassifications to lower levels, i.e., cases in which the assignment an employee is performing is altered such as to remove that portion of the assignment that previously justified the higher level.
