§ 20-127. Same—Procedure; reasons.

A permanent or probation employee may be demoted to a lower class for which the employee meets the requirements for reasons relative to job performance. When an initial appointment probation employee is demoted, the employee shall continue the probation period as if the original appointment had been to the position of the lower class. A permanent or probation employee may request appointment to a lower class, and the department head may make the demotion subject to the limitations applicable to transfers. A department head may demote a permanent or probation employee when a shortage of work or funds, the abolition of a position, or other material change in duties or organization necessitates the action.
