RESOLUTION APPROVING POLICY CHANGE TO
PERSONNEL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
REGARDING SALARIES FOR VOLUNTARY DEMOTIONS
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, the Human Resources Department has identified an area of the Personnel
Policies and Procedures that needs to be revised; and,
WHEREAS,the current language regarding demotions in Chapter allows an employee who
voluntarily demotes to a lower position to retain his or her current rate of pay or the maximum salary
of the lower classification, whichever is less; and,
WHEREAS the existing language only contemplates salary reductions for involuntary
demotions; and,
WHEREAS, adding additional language that allows for a case-by-case review would give
flexibility to further reduce the salary in certain situations, e.g., maintaining internal equity with
similar classifications in a department; and,
WHEREAS,the revision provides greater flexibility for situations where employees accept
voluntary demotions, as opposed to involuntary demotions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the policy change to the Personnel Policies and Procedures regarding salaries for voluntary
demotions is hereby approved.
