Facing a Tough Choice: Should an Employee Accept a Demotion or Resign Early?

Employee Demotion or Resignation: Guidance Needed

An employee is asked to either leave or opt for a demotion. Please understand the situation based on the following points:

1. An employee was hired on a 1-year contract with a salary of Rs. 35,000 per month and the designation of Statistics Analyst.
2. After 6 months, the department decided that such a position is no longer needed.
3. The employee was asked to either resign or opt for the Personal Secretary position at a salary of Rs. 15,000.
4. The employee has a contract for 1 year, which includes the designation, tenure of work, and salary.

Please suggest what the employee can do in this situation, as the department has given just one month's time to make the decision.
