Step-down or Demotion Sample Clauses
A Step-down or Demotion clause allows for the reduction of an employee’s job title, responsibilities, or compensation, typically as an alternative to termination or as a disciplinary measure. In practice, this clause may be invoked if an employee fails to meet performance standards or if organizational restructuring requires changes to roles; for example, a manager might be reassigned to a non-managerial position with a corresponding salary adjustment. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility for employers to address performance or organizational needs without resorting to immediate dismissal, thereby offering a less severe corrective action and potentially retaining valuable staff.

Regardless of where they are returned, they would return to their original status prior to being promoted to a Key Personnel position with full B.C. Company Seniority.

In determining the placement of these employees, the parties (the Company and the Union) will first consider vacancies in the areas outlined above, and give consideration to the request of the employee, to minimize its impact on other Bargaining Unit employees. The parties reserve the right to micro-manage all step-downs. The Union and the Employer reserve the right to deal with any situations that arise due to the implementation of the change in any situations where a member is adversely impacted due to these provisions.
