| Public Act 099-0072 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The State Universities Civil Service Act is | ||||
amended by changing Sections 36h and 36j as follows:
| ||||
(110 ILCS 70/36h) (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 38b7)
| ||||
Sec. 36h. Appointment. | ||||
(1) Whenever an employer covered by the University
System | ||||
has a position which needs to be filled, this employer shall | ||||
inform
the Executive Director of the Merit Board. The Executive | ||||
Director shall then certify to the
employer the names and | ||||
addresses of the three persons with the 3 standing highest | ||||
scores on
the register for the classification to which the | ||||
position is assigned. The
employer shall select one of these | ||||
persons certified for the position and
shall notify the | ||||
Executive Director of the Merit Board of the his selection. If | ||||
less than
3 scores three names appear on the appropriate | ||||
register, the Executive Director shall certify
the names and | ||||
addresses of all the person or persons on the register. Sex | ||||
shall
be disregarded except when the nature of the position | ||||
requires otherwise.
| ||||
(2) All appointments shall be for a probationary period of | ||||
no less than 6
months and no longer than 12 months for each | ||||
class of positions in the
classification plan, the length of | ||
the probationary period for each class
having been determined | ||
by the Executive Director, except that persons first appointed
| ||
to any police department of any university or college covered | ||
by the University
System after the effective date of this | ||
amendatory Act of 1979, shall be on
probation for one 1 year. | ||
The service during the probationary period shall be
deemed to | ||
be a part of the examination. During the probationary period, | ||
the
employee may be dismissed if the employer determines that | ||
the employee has
failed to demonstrate the ability and the | ||
qualifications necessary to
furnish satisfactory service. The | ||
employer shall notify the Executive Director in
writing of such | ||
dismissal. If an employee is not so dismissed during his or her
| ||
probationary period, his or her appointment shall be deemed | ||
complete at the end of the period.
| ||
(3) No person shall be appointed to any police
department | ||
of any university or college covered by the University
System | ||
unless he or she possesses a high school diploma or an | ||
equivalent
high school education, and unless he or she is a | ||
person of good character and
is not a person who has been | ||
convicted of a felony or a crime involving
moral turpitude.

| ||
(110 ILCS 70/36j) (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 38b9)
| ||
Sec. 36j. Promotions. The Merit Board shall by rules | ||
provide for promotions on the basis of
ability and experience | ||
and seniority in service and examination and to
provide in all | ||
cases where it is practicable that vacancies will be filled
by | ||
promotion. The Merit Board shall by rule fix lines of promotion | ||
from
such several offices and places to superior offices or | ||
places in all cases
where, in the judgment of the Merit Board, | ||
the duties of such several
positions directly tend to fit the | ||
incumbent for a superior position.
| ||
Employees promoted in the promotional line shall have their | ||
seniority
for the highest position held on the basis of length | ||
of service in that
classification. For the next lower | ||
classification the employee may add his
seniority in the higher | ||
classification to that in the lower to determine
seniority in | ||
the lower classification.
| ||
Whenever a superior position in the promotional line in the | ||
classified
civil service under the University System is to be | ||
filled, the Executive Director
shall certify to the employer, | ||
in the order of their seniority, the names
and addresses of the | ||
three persons with the 3 standing highest scores on upon the | ||
promotional
register for the class or grade to which said | ||
position belongs. The
employer shall appoint one of those the | ||
three persons whose names were certified
by the Executive | ||
Director. Sex shall be disregarded except when the nature of | ||
the
position requires otherwise. Appointments to superior | ||
positions in the
promotional line shall be on probation for a | ||
period of no less than 6
months and no longer than 12 months | ||
for each class of positions
in the classification plan, the | ||
length of the probationary period having
been determined by the | ||
Executive Director. Persons
so appointed may be demoted at any | ||
time during the period of probation, if,
in the opinion of the | ||
employer, they have failed to demonstrate the ability
and the | ||
qualifications necessary to furnish satisfactory service, but | ||
shall
not be discharged from the superior position if they have | ||
previously
completed a probationary period in an inferior | ||
position in the promotional
line.
| ||
Whenever a person is promoted to a superior position in the | ||
promotional
line prior to the completion of the probationary | ||
period in
any one of the positions in the classified civil | ||
service under the
University System, total service in the | ||
inferior position and in all such
superior positions shall be | ||
combined to establish certified status and
seniority in the | ||
inferior position.
