A reduction to a part-time position may be accompanied by an appropriate reduction in pay.(5) In the event of transfer to another position or reduction to a part-time position, the agency or department concerned shall furnish, in writing, to the affected employee the reasons for the transfer or reduction, together with the name and classification of the employee concerned.History.—s. 21, ch. 79-190; s. 2, ch. 81-169; s. 73, ch. 86-163; s. 663, ch. 95-147; s. 6, ch. 96-399.
