Practice question
A qualified employee is lawfully placed in a lower position due to agency reorganization under Section 11(g). The pre-reorganization actual salary is higher than the new position’s ordinary grade amount. The agency says every demotion must immediately reduce actual salary to the lower grade, ignoring the reorganization clause. Which response follows the 2025 rule?
- The employee automatically receives every higher grade in the agency.
- The clause requires private negotiation without rules.
- Every reorganization salary must be zero.
- The rule specifically preserves the employee’s actual pre-reorganization salary in the stated reorganization or rationalization demotion setting.
- The demotion becomes a voluntary resignation automatically.
