| | | 09700HB1760ham001 | - 2 - | LRB097 05377 RLJ 51947 a |
|
| 1 | | the register as candidates in the
order of their relative | 2 | | excellence as determined by examination, without

| 10 | | (70 ILCS 2605/4.10) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.10)
| 11 | | Sec. 4.10. Promotions. The Director shall note of record | 12 | | the duties
(whether imposed by
law, official regulation or | 13 | | practice) of each classification in the
classified service, and | 14 | | shall thereupon by rule fix lines for promotion
from lower | 15 | | classifications to
higher classifications in all
cases where, | 16 | | in his or her judgment, the experience gained in the lower
| 17 | | classification may tend to qualify an employee to perform the | 18 | | duties of a
higher classification. In case of vacancy in
higher | 19 | | classifications, which cannot be filled by reinstatement, the
| 20 | | Director shall hold promotional examinations to fill such
| 21 | | vacancy. Incumbents
of classifications in lines of promotion | 22 | | established by the Director shall be solely
eligible for such | 23 | | examination, unless in the judgment of the Director, it
is for | 24 | | the best interests of the service that original examination for | 25 | | such
vacancy be held. In promotional examinations, efficiency |
| | | 09700HB1760ham001 | - 3 - | LRB097 05377 RLJ 51947 a |
|
| 1 | | and
seniority in
service shall form a part of such examination, | 2 | | but combined shall not carry
a weight of more than 25% of the | 3 | | total examination points. Although efficiency and seniority in | 4 | | service shall not carry a weight of more than 25% of the total | 5 | | examination points, the Director may require candidates to | 6 | | separately pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the | 7 | | examination in order for the candidates to be eligible to take | 8 | | the subsequent parts of the examination. If the Director | 9 | | requires candidates to separately pass the efficiency and | 10 | | seniority parts of the examination, then any candidate who does | 11 | | not pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the examination | 12 | | shall fail the entire examination. All examinations for
| 13 | | promotion shall be
competitive. The method of examination, the | 14 | | rules governing the same, and
the method of certifying shall be | 15 | | the same as provided for in the original
examination.
