The employee who requests such reassignment or voluntary reduction shall not have recourse to the administrative grievance procedure.
(3) When appropriate an exempt employee may be reassigned to a position at a lower level of responsibility. The salary for the new assignment shall be determined through CWU 305-24. The employee who is reassigned shall have recourse to CWU 305-37 (Grievance).
