§ 3-315. Demotion of employees.

An appointing authority may, in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the Board, demote for cause a classified employee under his jurisdiction from a position in one class to a position in a lower class, but only after the employee involved and the director have been notified in writing of such contemplated action. Any employee holding a permanent civil service status who is demoted by any appointing authority may appeal his or her demotion to the Board for consideration and review. The Board may, in its discretion, restore any employee who has been demoted.
