| REF: n 5 CFR Chapter 752 |
|
||
| The normal option of penalties in response to an
employee's misconduct or delinquency are: oral admonishment, reprimand, suspension, and removal. However, before a decision is made to remove, in some
cases another disciplinary option may be a more appropriate response to an employee's
misconduct - reducing him/her in grade and/or pay. |
||
|
In effect, a superviosr would demote the
employee either by redesigning his/her current position to a lower grade or by moving
him/her to a different lower- graded position. The change to lower grade may be within the
employee's current workcenter or it may be to another position elsewhere on the
installation. It must be to a position that is available to fill, that the employee
qualifies for, and that the gaining supervisor is willing to accept the employee knowing
the reasons for the placement action. Supervisors must consult with their servicing
personnel office to determine if this is a viable option. Each case must be looked
at on a case-by-case basis. |
