REPROMOTION. When the position previously held by an employee demoted through RIF becomes vacant and is being filled, the demoted employee will be considered for repromotion noncompetitively to the position provided the employee has continued to work at an acceptable level. If more than one employee meets the above criteria, the employee with the highest retention standing when the RIF is affected will be considered first.
REPROMOTION. Employees who have been downgraded because of the RIF process will obtain priority repromotion consideration to their former grades as follows:
REPROMOTION. EMPLOYEES who are demoted without personal cause and not at his/her request are entitled to repromotion consideration for two (2) years in accordance with provisions of the Merit Promotion Plan. Competitive procedures of the promotion plan will not be used before non-competitive consideration of these EMPLOYEES. For positions where there are EMPLOYEES eligible for priority repromotion consideration, those entitled to priority consideration under RIF are referred to consideration before those otherwise entitled to repromotion consideration. It is understood, however that such EMPLOYEES are not guaranteed repromotion on the sole basis of their demotion without personal cause. EMPLOYEES who have been demoted without personal cause should apply for promotion or repromotion to published announcements.
