§ 603a.4. Probationary period following demotion.
(a) Regular employee. An employee who has achieved regular status and who is demoted shall retain regular status.
(b) Probationary employee. The unexpired portion of the probationary period of an employee who never achieved regular status and who is demoted shall continue to be served in the position, unless the employee accepted the demotion after being notified in writing that the appointing authority having jurisdiction over the position requires a full probationary period in the position as a condition of appointment. An employee who held regular status in a lower-level job classification shall be assigned regular status in the job classification to which the employee is demoted, unless the employee had not previously held the job classification to which they are demoted.
(c) Subsequent promotion. When a regular employee has voluntarily demoted to a lower-level job classification and is subsequently promoted to the higher-level job classification held prior to demotion, the appointing authority may waive all or part of the probationary period for the higher-level job classification.
