Demotion Process

L

Hello, 

I'd like to find out whether anyone has gone through or followed a process for a Demotion? What the process looked like and how it was handled in the "safest", smoothest way possible?

Possible reason for a demotion is performance in the role not performing at Director or Leadership level and a few other repeated issues. 

Would love to hear your ideas and thoughts on his topic

  • Hi, 

    The process of demotion, is an outcome of Performance Review and Appraisal where the candidate/person is informed in the process of review. Either attend training or demoted (in my context the salary is not reduced). this is safe when the Review of performance is followed.

    Although this varies in levels there are levels where one will part ways BUT this is known from inseption.

    Hi Skirenga - that really wouldn't be safe at all I'm afraid as it doesn't comply with employment law. Even if the salary isn't reduced, it would be a breach of contract if the employee didn't agree. Also, paying someone a higher salary than the one that applies to their role would give you an equal pay risk. There are limited circumstances where you can protect pay if there is an agreed reduction in the level of the role, however long term you risk someone within the lower level role, raising an equal pay claim because the other person doing the same role as them is paid more.

    Hello Teresa, in line with this the Procedure of Performance Appraisal needs to be followed that incorporate the employee to be heard, in the government set up jobs will be changed and moved here and there but salaries will not be reduced; however in private set up with the agreement as mentioned an understanding is made. All in all the Equal pay per work is a part that we (here) need to work on as it is a problem.

    Ah, is this the Civil Service? I do know that they have some different arrangements which make it very difficult to dismiss and the tendency is to move people around
