Even on days when classes are canceled or the Springfield campus is declared closed due to inclement weather or other extraordinary situation, the university must provide minimal, adequate staffing in “essential services.” It is up to the division heads to make sure such services are provided.
Employees providing those services are required to report to work if so informed by their supervisors.
Employees in professional, semi-professional and management civil service classifications may utilize working titles in accordance with this policy.
The employing unit must submit the requested working title to Human Resources for review and approval. Once approved, the working title can be utilized in the future for the same position.
The University recognizes that efforts to retain Academic Professional and Civil Service staff, providing exemplary service, who have received a job offer outside of University of Illinois Springfield may be warranted in limited situations as described by this policy. The University also recognizes that there are financial limits to its ability to make counteroffers and must be aware of the impact that such offers can cause in the salary structure on campus.
