City of Eugene <br /> Human Resource and Risk Services Policies <br /> involuntary demotions generally do not serve a new probationary period. Every <br /> proposed demotion should be discussed with HRRS to evaluate the impact on <br /> an employee's probationary period. <br /> Employees who are still within their initial probationary period at the time of <br /> demotion, may be placed at a step lower than specified above. If the demotion <br /> happens during an employee's probationary period in a new position and the <br /> demotion is to the employee's former classification, the employee will return to <br /> the former step at that pay range and the former merit review date will be <br /> re-instated. If the employee's demotion is to a new classification, the new step <br /> will be determined based upon an evaluation of the employee's skill level. Such a <br /> placement needs to be coordinated with HRRS. <br /> Labor Agreements may differ from this policy. The contract language prevails. <br /> SEE: Section 3-923 and the Supervisor's Guide <br /> <br /> Human Resource and Risk Services Revision: 06/16/02 <br /> <br />
