(70 ILCS 1215/3) (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 116)
Sec. 3.
The Civil Service Board shall within ninety days after this act
goes into effect, classify all offices and places of employment in said
Park Employees' and Retirement Board Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund
system with reference to the duties thereof and for the purpose of
establishing grades and of fixing and maintaining standards of examinations
hereinafter provided for. The offices and places so classified shall
constitute the classified civil service of such Park Employees' and
Retirement Board Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund system and no
appointments, promotions, transfers, reductions in grade or removal
therefrom shall be made except under and according to the provisions of
this act, and of the rules hereinafter mentioned. As a part of such
classified service all officers and employees of said Board of Trustees
other than those specifically exempted under the provisions of Section 13
of this Act shall be included. The Civil Service Board shall ascertain
and record the duties of each office and place in the classified civil
service and designate the grade of each position. Each grade shall comprise
offices and places having substantially similar duties. They shall also
record the lines of promotion from each lower grade to a higher grade
wherever the experience derived in the performance of the duties of such
lower grade tends to qualify for the performance of duty in such higher
grade. The Civil Service Board shall by rules prescribe standards of
efficiency for each grade and for examinations of candidates for
appointment thereto.
For the purpose of establishing standards as basis for uniformity of pay
and title for all offices and places of employment classified in the same
grade, it shall be the duty of the Civil Service Board to prescribe by rule
the maximum and minimum rate of pay for each grade and the title thereof,
for the guidance of the Board of Trustees in determining the actual pay for
each office or place of employment, and to report to the Board of Trustees
annually and at such other times as they may direct, the name and address
of each officer and employee paid more than the maximum or less than the
minimum rate of pay prescribed for his or her grade or designated by a
title other than that prescribed for his or her grade by the Civil Service
Board. It shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees, within thirty days
after receiving such report, to change the pay or title of every officer or
employee so reported out of grade to conform to the standards of title and
pay prescribed by the Civil Service Board for the guidance of the Board of
Trustees for the grade in which the position held by such officer or
employee is classified. The Civil Service Board shall standardize
employment in each grade and make and keep a record of the relative
efficiency of each officer and employee in the classified civil service.
The Civil Service Board shall provide by rule methods for ascertaining and
verifying the facts from which such records of relative efficiency shall be
made which shall be uniform for each grade in the classified civil service.
