| n Demotion n Removal |
Performance based actions available are:
- Reassignment - employee may be reassigned to another position in the organization where
the employee may be expected to perform the duties satisfactorily. A reassignment has no
impact on employee's grade or salary. If none are available, the Servicing Personnel
Office (SPO) searches bureau-wide for other possibilities for noncompetitive inservice
placement. Selection by another supervisor is not mandatory, however, reasons for
nonselection must be supportable before a third party.
- Demotion - the supervisor may change the duties of the current
position and demote the employee to a level where an acceptable level of performance can
be reached. This action impacts employees grade and salary. If it is not feasible to
demote the employee in the current position, the SPO searches for other positions
available in the bureau. Referral policy is the same as in reassignment.
- Removal - If no positions are available, a proposal to remove
would follow. Removal is an involuntary separation of an employee from employment. It
terminates the employee's status as an employee. A higher level management official in the
organizations chain-of-command must concur with the superivisors decision to remove an
employee before it can be effected.
