Appointment.
(1) Whenever an employer covered by the University
System has a position which needs to be filled, this employer shall inform
the Director of the Merit Board. The Director shall then certify to the
employer the names and addresses of the three persons standing highest on
the register for the classification to which the position is assigned. The
employer shall select one of these persons certified for the position and
shall notify the Director of the Merit Board of his selection. If less than
three names appear on the appropriate register, the Director shall certify
the names and addresses of the person or persons on the register. Sex shall
be disregarded except when the nature of the position requires otherwise.
(2) All appointments shall be for a probationary 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 for each class
having been determined by the Director, except that persons first appointed
to any police department of any university or college covered by the University
System after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1979, shall be on
probation for 1 year. The service during the probationary period shall be
deemed to be a part of the examination. During the probationary period, the
employee may be dismissed if the employer determines that the employee has
failed to demonstrate the ability and the qualifications necessary to
furnish satisfactory service. The employer shall notify the Director in
writing of such dismissal. If an employee is not so dismissed during his
probationary period his appointment shall be deemed complete at the end of the period.
(3) No person shall be appointed to any police
department of any university or college covered by the University
System unless he possesses a high school diploma or an equivalent
high school education, and unless he is a person of good character and
is not a person who has been convicted of a felony or a crime involving
moral turpitude.
