A demotion without prejudice may be approved by the Mayor upon
the recommendation of the department head together with the employee's
written consent to the action and concurrence with the established
salary. For the demotion to occur, there must be an appropriate position
vacant in a lower pay range or the department head and Mayor must
agree to convert the employee's position to a lower grade and
different title. A demotion may also be effectuated if an employee
applies and is selected for a vacant position of a lower grade level
through the normal recruitment process.
Upon the approval of the Mayor, a department head may detail an employee in accordance with the provisions of §
50-48, Other salary adjustments, of this Division A. If two department heads are involved, both must concur. Employee consent is required for details in excess of 60 days. This is not to be construed to prohibit the normal assignment of other duties, without additional compensation, in the absence of an official detail in order to meet the Town's needs.
