Transfer to a Job in a Lower Pay Grade At times, an individual may be reassigned or choose to move to a position in a lower pay grade. This most likely will occur as a result of a realignment of the individual’s capabilities and the skills and expectations of a different job.
Involuntary Transfer to a Job in a Lower Pay Grade (Demotion) When an employee is reassigned to a job in a lower pay grade on an involuntary basis based on disciplinary or other performance issues, the incumbent’s salary may be decreased by 10% or the maximum of the new pay grade to reflect the responsibilities of the new job. In cases where a position is reassigned to a new pay grade due to a reorganization or restructuring, HR, the manager, and if appropriate, the Vice President will evaluate these situations on a case-by-case basis to determine if any salary adjustments are necessary and appropriate.
Voluntary Transfer to a Job in a Lower Pay Grade (Demotion) If an employee elects to take a job in a lower pay grade, their salary will be reviewed in relation to the salary range for the new position. Depending on the new salary range for the incumbent, salary level of the incumbent, and salary level of other incumbents in the same or similar positions, the incumbent’s salary may be lowered to reflect the new job. HR, the manager, and if appropriate, the Senior Leadership member will evaluate these situations on a case-by-case basis to determine if any salary adjustments are necessary and appropriate.
