Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 8-17-320(8) of the 1976 Code, as amended by Act 284 of 1996, is further amended to read:
"(8) 'Demotion' means the assignment of an employee by the appointing authority from one established position to a different established position having a lower state salary range or, for employees in positions without a state salary range, the assignment of a lower rate of pay to the employee except when the employee's job duties are also decreased for nonpunitive reasons."
SECTION 2. Section 8-17-320(17) of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 284 of 1996, is amended to read:
"(17) 'Promotion' means an employee's change from a position in one class to a position in another class having a higher state salary range the assignment of an employee by the appointing authority from one established position to a different established position having a higher state salary range or, for positions without a state salary range, having a higher rate of pay. Failure to be selected for a promotion is not an adverse employment action that can be considered as a grievance or appeal."
SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
