Staff Employment Policies & Practices: Demotions

A demotion is a move to a position with less responsibility and a lower salary range.

An employee may be offered a lower position in lieu of separation because of the employee's inability to perform in his or her current position, or because of a reduction in the work force due to unavailability of funds or program change.

Employees are welcome to apply for positions with less responsibility and lower pay.  In such cases, the employee's new rate of pay will be determined based upon the salary range for the new classification, internal equity, and the availability of funds.

Additional information is located on the TWU HR Compensation web page.
