demotion

A reduction in job duties that involves a movement from a position in one grade to a position in a lower grade. Both the employee and department must agree on this position change.

With this type of change, increases are not allowed except when the current salary falls between steps in the lower grade; the salary will be adjusted to next highest step if this situation occurs.

If the employee's salary exceeds the top step of the new range, their salary may be placed at step 0 and indefinitely frozen until the grid catches up with the pay.
