Voluntary Demotions. An employee who receives a voluntary demotion shall be paid at the step in the range of the lower class of positions that best reflects the earned step based on creditable State service, or at such higher step as may be determined by the Director of the Division of Personnel. An employee who receives a voluntary demotion except through reclassification will continue to receive salary, performance and longevity increases received by other employees.
Voluntary Demotions. For purposes of this Section, the term Aopening@ shall apply to any permanent vacancy in a classification. An employee may vacate from his current classification once per year given there is an opening and the employee is qualified to perform in the lower classification to which the employee has requested a demotion. The Department will assign voluntarily demoted employees beginning with the next employee pay cycle. Employees will have thirty (30) days to certify for position openings. No employee shall be displaced from the Department through a voluntary demotion. Employees who voluntarily demote to a lower classification will be placed in the new payline for the lower classification based on their years of service in the lower classification. Employees that voluntarily demote to the classification of Firefighter will receive credit for total time spent in the Department when being placed on that payline.
Voluntary Demotions. For purposes of this Section, the term “opening” shall apply to any permanent vacancy in a classification. An employee may vacate from his current classification once per year given there is an opening and the employee is qualified to perform in the lower classification to which the employee has requested a demotion. The Department will assign voluntarily demoted employees beginning with the next employee pay cycle. Employees will have thirty (30) days to certify for position openings.
Voluntary Demotions. (a) A voluntary demotion is the movement by an employee's request from his permanent classification to a classification in a lower salary group that involves duties that the employee is qualified to perform.
(b) The voluntary demotion of permanent employees will be made by the City in accordance with the rules governing voluntary demotions as adopted by the Toledo Civil Service Commission. The following rules and procedure shall also apply.
(1) The employee must have completed one (1) year of service after the appropriate probationary period to be eligible for a voluntary demotion.
(2) The Appointing Authority may also initiate voluntary demotions for the good of the service apart from the procedure and priorities specified here and in Section 2117.42, “Vacancies”, provided, however, that no employee from outside the bargaining unit may take a voluntary demotion to the unit for the good of the service until the priorities for filling vacancies with Local 7 employees have been exhausted.
(c) An employee voluntarily demoted as provided herein, shall be probationary for a period of two hundred and forty (240) actual work hours. During this period either the employee or the City can request movement of the employee back to their former position. If the employee's former position has been filled, the employee filling that position may be removed and reinstated to their former position, and so forth.
(d) Bidding procedures established in Divisional Agreements shall take precedent over certification procedures that are the responsibility of the Civil Service Commission.
(e) Seniority shall be the determining factor in establishing priority for voluntary demotion requests unless the Transfer Board agrees to specific priority adjustments for the good of the service.
(f) Voluntary demotion requests are valid until December 31 of the year in which they are filed. After January 1 of each year, a new request must be filed with the Department of Human Resources.
Voluntary Demotions. Permanent, non-probationary employees are eligible for and may request a voluntary demotion at any time. A request for a voluntary demotion shall be reviewed pursuant to the criteria for voluntary transfers and promotions.
Voluntary Demotions. When an employee volunteers to move to a lower range, the procedures for salary placement in Section 3.e. shall be followed.
Voluntary Demotions. If an employee is eligible to take a voluntary demotion, they will be provided the position and location where the voluntary demotion is situated. An offer of a voluntary demotion must be responded to in writing within five (5) working days of receipt of the offer. If an employee accepts a voluntary demotion, they will be paid at a step in the grade of the class to which they were demoted which is equal to or less than the base rate of pay from which they were demoted, but not greater than the highest step of the class to which they were demoted.
Voluntary Demotions. Unit members who wish to take a 25 voluntary demotion in lieu of layoff to a position within a class not previously held 26 may request a transfer to a vacant position for which they qualify.
Voluntary Demotions. 87 A. Unit members may apply for and shall be considered for a voluntary demotion 88 in the same manner as for a voluntary transfer.
89 B. Demotion under this Article shall be considered permanent; therefore, no 90 additional probationary period shall be required.
Voluntary Demotions. 1. When an employee through posting chooses to accept a lower grade position, i.e., building custodian to custodian, salary will be taken to the next lower step in the new grade which is closest to a 5% decrease at the time of demotion.
2. District employees from other bargaining units who choose to take a voluntary demotion into the Classified Employees' bargaining unit will be placed at the step closest to a five percent (5%) salary decrease in the range assigned to the position.
