What is a disciplinary demotion and what changes may occur in salary?
Demotion for cause is a disciplinary demotion. A disciplinary demotion results in the:
(1) Assignment of responsibilities which results in a lower salary standard and/or lower evaluation points for the same position or results in the position being placed in the WGS with a lower base salary, or
(2) Movement to a different position that has a lower salary standard and/or lower evaluation points or to a WGS position with a lower base salary.
A disciplinary demotion may result in a salary decrease. If a disciplinary demotion results in a salary decrease, the overtime status of the position may be impacted and must comply with the salary basis test of both chapter
49.46 RCW and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
