Demotion in Lieu of Layoff Sample Clauses
The 'Demotion in Lieu of Layoff' clause allows an employer to offer an employee a lower-level position as an alternative to being laid off. In practice, this means that instead of terminating the employee's employment entirely due to workforce reductions or restructuring, the employer may reassign the employee to a role with less responsibility or lower pay. This clause helps retain experienced staff within the organization while minimizing the impact of layoffs, providing employees with continued employment and benefits, albeit at a different level.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. The appointing authority shall determine by class, subject to review by the Director, whether demotion shall be afforded employees as an option in lieu of layoff. At the request of the appointing authority, a permanent employee shall, in lieu of layoff, be afforded the option of demotion within the same department to a position in a lower class, provided that no such demotion shall in turn require the layoff or demotion from such lower class of any employee whose layoff rating is at least as high as that of the demoting employee. A probationary employee may be afforded the opportunity to accept a demotion within the same department to a position in a lower class provided no such demotion shall in turn require the layoff of any employee in the lower class. Such probationer shall not become permanent in the lower class by this action except by completing a new full probation period in such lower class.
Demotion in Lieu of Layoff. If there are no vacant positions to which a permanent employee who is to be laid off can transfer and/or demote and transfer, then such permanent employee shall have the right to demote to any classification within their Agency/Department in which that employee previously held permanent status. Bumping shall not be restricted to classes within a bargaining unit. Should an employee bump into a classification in another bargaining unit, then the layoff procedures applicable to that bargaining unit shall be controlling. There does not need to be a vacant position within the classification for an employee to exercise this right. If, as a result of the exercise of this right, layoffs must occur in the classification to which that employee demoted, then such layoff shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the agreement which is controlling for the classification.

Any employee who demotes as part of the layoff procedure in Article 15 of this Agreement shall retain his/her current rate of pay or the rate of pay at the top of the pay range of the class to which he/she demotes, whichever is less. However, an employee may continue to receive a rate of pay in excess of the maximum upon the recommendation of the Appointing Authority and approval of the Commissioner of Minnesota Management & Budget.

If, as a result of the exercise of this right, layoffs must occur in the classification to which that employee demoted, then such layoff shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the agreement which is controlling for the classification.
