The City Manager may, in the best interest of the City, transfer
an employee within the City. Employees affected by such transfer shall
not be required to serve a new appraisal period.
Only regular status and nonprobationary employees may be considered
for promotion. A promotion is the change of an employee from a position
of one class to a position of another class with a higher minimum
pay rate. Factors that will be included in reviewing candidates for
promotion will include such factors as qualifications, performance
and attendance. All promotions are subject to approval of the City
Manager.
When an employee's performance is below acceptable standards,
the department director may demote the employee to a position of less
responsibility and lower pay if such a position exists within that
department. Demotions are subject to the approval of the City Manager.
