|
| 1 | | and seniority in service and examination and to
provide in all | 2 | | cases where it is practicable that vacancies will be filled
by | 3 | | promotion. The Merit Board shall by rule fix lines of promotion | 4 | | from
such several offices and places to superior offices or | 5 | | places in all cases
where, in the judgment of the Merit Board, | 6 | | the duties of such several
positions directly tend to fit the | 7 | | incumbent for a superior position.
| 8 | | Employees promoted in the promotional line shall have their | 9 | | seniority
for the highest position held on the basis of length | 10 | | of service in that
classification. For the next lower | 11 | | classification the employee may add his
seniority in the higher | 12 | | classification to that in the lower to determine
seniority in | 13 | | the lower classification.
| 14 | | Whenever a superior position in the promotional line in the | 15 | | classified
civil service under the University System is to be | 16 | | filled, the Executive Director
shall certify to the employer, | 17 | | in the order of their seniority, the names
and addresses of the | 18 | | three persons with the 3 standing highest scores on upon the | 19 | | promotional
register for the class or grade to which said | 20 | | position belongs. The
employer shall appoint one of those the | 21 | | three persons whose names were certified
by the Executive | 22 | | Director. Sex shall be disregarded except when the nature of | 23 | | the
position requires otherwise. Appointments to superior | 24 | | positions in the
promotional line shall be on probation for a | 25 | | period of no less than 6
months and no longer than 12 months | 26 | | for each class of positions
in the classification plan, the |
| | | HB3102 | - 4 - | LRB099 08722 NHT 28890 b |
|
| 1 | | length of the probationary period having
been determined by the | 2 | | Executive Director. Persons
so appointed may be demoted at any | 3 | | time during the period of probation , if,
in the opinion of the | 4 | | employer, they have failed to demonstrate the ability
and the | 5 | | qualifications necessary to furnish satisfactory service, but | 6 | | shall
not be discharged from the superior position if they have | 7 | | previously
completed a probationary period in an inferior | 8 | | position in the promotional
line.
| 9 | | Whenever a person is promoted to a superior position in the | 10 | | promotional
line prior to the completion of the probationary | 11 | | period in
any one of the positions in the classified civil | 12 | | service under the
University System, total service in the | 13 | | inferior position and in all such
superior positions shall be | 14 | | combined to establish certified status and
seniority in the | 15 | | inferior position.
