Personnel Regulation 45: Transfer and Voluntary Demotion

Not applicable.

A. All regular employees, except probationary employees during the first six months of employment, may initiate a request to transfer to the same classification in another department by submitting a Transfer Application to the Human Resources Department. A Transfer Application form is available on the MINE, under Human Resources, Jobs and Salaries, Current Job Postings. The request will be kept on file for one year from the date of receipt. Once the employee is certified, if selected, the employee will be transferred to the new department.

B. An employee with less than six months of service, less than satisfactory performance evaluation and/or a disciplinary suspension, reduction in pay or equivalent disciplinary action within the last year may not be eligible for a transfer except at the discretion of the Director of Human Resources.

Any employee may voluntarily demote to a vacant position with a lower salary for which the employee meets the minimum qualifications, upon the written request of the employee and the approval of the appointing authority and the Director of Human Resources. Should such demotion be to a class unrelated to the previous position, the employee will serve a new probationary period.
