| REF: n 5 CFR Chapter 752 |
|
||
| As positions are reviewed by local or higher
level personnel management authorities, there may be times when a position is downgraded
because of a determination that the position warrants classification at a lower grade due
to a classification error or job grading standard change when the
position has been classified at the higher grade for less than one year. |
||
|
Effecting such a downgrade (demotion) or change
to lower grade of the employee occupying the position is considered an adverse
action, since it not only lowers the grade of the position but also lowers the
employee's salary rate. Employees do not receive entitlements to grade
retention if the position has not been classified at the original grade for at least
one year. |
