Secondary Demotional Pattern

A secondary demotional pattern is the tree of lower-level classes that are similar to the employee's class. A second class must meet these criteria:

  • similar knowledge and abilities (no more than six months retraining),
  • doesn't require a certification or license (unless required by the layoff class),
  • won't disrupt the department by eliminating all employees in a key program, and
  • feeds into the original class or shares an entry class with it.
