Voluntary Demotion or Transfer. A permanent or probationary classified employee who will suffer a layoff for lack of work or funds despite the exercising of displacing (bumping) rights in order to avoid layoff may accept a voluntary demotion to a vacant position in a lower class or transfer to an equal class, provided that he/she is qualified to perform the duties thereof and provided further that the appointing authority approves the voluntary demotion. An employee who has accepted demotion in lieu of layoff has the right to be reemployed, in accordance with his/her seniority, in a vacant position in his former class within 39 months after demotion. Intervening reassignments to other classes shall not abrogate that right. If he/she has not been reemployed in his/her former class within 39 months, he/she shall be eligible for appointment to a vacant position in that class without examination for an additional 24 months at the discretion of the appointing authority.
