Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(110 ILCS 70/36j) (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 38b9)
Sec. 36j. Promotions. (a) 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. For the purpose of this Section, an advancement in class shall constitute a promotion. (b) 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.
(c) 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 persons with the 3 highest scores on the promotional
register for the class or grade to which said position belongs. The
employer shall appoint one of those persons whose names were certified
by the Executive Director. (d) 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.
(e) 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 or her seniority in the higher classification to that in the lower to determine seniority in the lower classification. (f) 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.
