AN ACT to amend the Metropolitan Water Reclamation
District Act by changing Section 4.3.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District
Act is amended by changing Section 4.3 as follows:
(70 ILCS 2605/4.3) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.3)
Sec. 4.3. Classification of positions. The Director
shall, with the consent and approval of said civil service
board, classify within 90 days after the effective date of
this amendatory Act of 1997 goes into effect, all positions
offices and places of employment in said sanitary district
with reference to the duties thereof for the purpose of
establishing job classifications grades, and of fixing and
maintaining standards of examinations hereinafter provided
for. The positions offices and places so classified shall
constitute the classified civil service of such sanitary
district and no appointments, promotions, transfers,
reductions in grade or pay 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 civil service all officers and employees under
said Director, except special examiners, shall be included.
The Director shall ascertain and record the duties of each
position office and place in the classified civil service and
designate the classification grade of each position. Each
classification grade shall comprise positions offices and
places having substantially similar duties. He shall also
record the lines of promotion from each lower classification
grade to a higher classification grade wherever the
experience derived in the performance of the duties of such
lower classification grade tends to qualify for performance
of duty in such higher classification grade. The director,
subject to the disapproval of the civil service board as
hereinafter provided, shall by rule prescribe standards of
efficiency for each classification grade and for examinations
of candidates for appointment thereto. Such rule or any
amendment thereof shall take effect 30 days after written
notice thereof is given to the civil service board, unless
within such period the board files with the Director a
written notice of its disapproval thereof.
For the purpose of establishing uniformity of pay and
title for all positions similarly offices and places of
employment classified in the same grade, it shall be the duty
of the Director to prescribe by rule which shall become
effective when approved by the trustees, the maximum and
minimum pay for each classification grade and the title
thereof and to report to the trustees annually and at such
other times as they may direct the name and address of each
officer and employee paid more or less than the pay
prescribed for his classification grade or designated by a
title other than that prescribed for his classification grade
by the board of trustees. It shall be the duty of the
trustees not later than the beginning of the next fiscal year
within 30 days after receiving such report to change the pay
or title of any position officer or employee so reported out
of classification grade to conform to the title and pay
prescribed by the Director for the classification grade in
which the position held by the such officer or employee is
classified. The Director shall standardize employment in each
classification grade and make and keep a record of the
relative efficiency of each officer and employee in the
classified civil service. The Director 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 classification grade in the classified
civil service.
