a. Reclassification resulting from employee performance will be to an equal or lower Labor Grade and will not adversely affect other employees.
b. Reclassification resulting from a change in level or complexity, of workload will be accomplished when possible in order to avoid layoff. This type of reclassification will be used only when there are established positions to which the affected employee can be reassigned.
