Nev. Admin. Code § 284.618 - Layoffs: Voluntary demotions
1. In lieu of being
laid off, a permanent employee may choose to be voluntarily demoted to a vacant
position or displace an employee within the department and geographical
location where employed to one of the next lower classes:
(a) Within his or her current class series
and option; or
(b) Within the class
series and option from which he or she was appointed to his or her current
position during current continuous service if he or she cannot be demoted
pursuant to paragraph (a).
For the purposes of this subsection, divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Nevada System of Higher Education shall be deemed to be departments.
2. No employee in a higher class may displace
an employee in a lower class who has more seniority. If an employee chooses to
displace another, he or she must displace the member of the next lower class
who has the least seniority. If that member has more seniority, the displacing
employee must descend further in the class series.
3. The employees displaced reestablish the
layoff class.
4. An employee may
choose to displace another only if he or she meets the minimum qualifications
for the class, option and position. For the purposes of this subsection,
qualifications for a position may be different from those of the class and
option only when selective certification is required pursuant to subsection 4
of NAC 284.361.
5. Full-time, part-time and seasonal
employees must be treated separately and can only displace like
employees.
6. Displacement is
always a movement to a class at a lower grade.
7. A current employee who elects to displace
another employee has priority over former employees already on reemployment
lists.
8. The pay of the employee
who is taking a voluntary demotion cannot exceed the highest step for the class
to which the employee is being demoted. If the current pay falls within the
lower rate range, no reduction in pay may occur unless money is not available
as certified by the Chief of the Budget Division or, in the case of an agency
which is not supported from the State General Fund, as certified by the
administrator of that agency.
