§ 11.27. Demotions.  


Latest version.
  • The Department Head may demote any Sworn Employee under his jurisdiction or supervision for disciplinary purposes or inadequate performance. The Department Head shall provide to the Sworn Employee and file with the Commission by delivery to the Director a written statement of action within five (5) business days. The order of demotion shall inform the Sworn Employee that the Sworn Employee has ten (10) business days after receipt of a copy thereof, within which to file a written appeal with the Commission. The Commission shall have the power to review and determine whether just cause exists to support the demotion. In the event the Department Head fails to file said statement with the Director within five business days, the demotion shall be void and the Sworn Employee shall be entitled to the Sworn Employee's full salary and position. The Commission shall have the power to uphold or reverse the decision of the Department Head. This paragraph does not apply to a voluntary demotion initiated by the Sworn Employee.
