2. Salary on demotion (PSTCER 25.(1)(2))
This section describes when a person is demoted pursuant to the PSTCER Section 50(A), and the employee is appointed to a position to which these regulations apply that has a lower maximum rate of pay than the maximum rate applicable to the employee's former substantive level.
On demotion, the employee is paid at the rate of pay that is nearest to but not more than the rate of pay the employee was receiving immediately before the appointment.
Note: The salary on appointment to a lower classification level for reasons other than incompetence or incapacity will be the rate of pay that is nearest to but not less than the rate of pay received immediately before the appointment. In these circumstances, the deployment or transfer by appointment rules are to be applied. For more information, refer to the Deployment or transfer by appointment module.

History Prior to July 29, 1998, if one or both positions were subject to an equalization adjustment, the annual equalization amount was added to each of the rates of pay of the applicable position before applying the above procedures. |
When performing calculations where there is a difference in the authorized salary, convert the salaries to the basis of the new group and level prior to the calculation.
|
Annual salary to hourly salary Demoted from a classification with authorized annual rates of pay to a classification with rates of pay authorized on an hourly basis. Convert the annual rate to an hourly rate for calculation purposes. For example, divide the annual rate by 1956.6 for a 37.50 hours scheduled work week or 2087.04 for a 40 hours scheduled work week. |
|
Hourly salary to annual salary Demoted from a classification with authorized hourly rates of pay to a classification with rates of pay authorized on an annual basis. Convert the hourly rate to an annual rate for calculation purposes.
