(55 ILCS 5/3-14024) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-14024)
Sec. 3-14024.
Lay-offs.
Whenever it becomes necessary through lack
of work or funds, or whenever a position is abolished and the number of
employees in a department must be reduced, the employee shall first be laid
off who has the lowest seniority in the grade and department in which the
reduction is to be made, except in the classification of laborer, where
candidates are not listed according to their relative proficiency as
provided in Section 3-14020, and where the employment is on a seasonal or
"as required" basis, the performance on the job of the employee shall be
considered rather than seniority.
