CS jobs are filled through a testing process. Individuals take examinations for specific classifications and their scores are placed on lists called registers. Scores appear on a register in order, from highest to lowest. Registers change each time new scores are added or removed. When a vacancy occurs in a department, those already on the register will need to re-apply to be considered for the current vacancy and will be notified by email when one is posted. Generally, the candidates with the top three scores are contacted for an interview opportunity. How long does my score stay on the register? Generally speaking, your score is good for up to two years. You are also removed upon hire, request, or failure to respond to the Human Resources office, among other reasons. Can I take the test over again? You may request to re-write the exam up to three times within one calendar year. Each instance of the exam must be taken at least 30 days apart, and this applies to all State University testing centers. Can I appeal my test score? Yes, your initial step in appealing the exam score is to contact Human Resources immediately following receipt of the Notice of Examination Score. Human Resources will explain how that particular score was reached. If you require further explanation regarding your examination score, you may contact the University System Office by email (info@sucss.illinois.gov) or by U.S. mail. You may find the Exam Request Challenge form. The total time limit for contacting the employer and the University System is within 30 days after receiving the Notice of Examination Score. For more information, please visit the State Universities Civil Service Systems website. Can I transfer my score? Yes, you may request to transfer your test scores to other State University institutions. For more information, please contact Human Resources. How do I upload my transcripts and other documents? Transcript must be uploaded during the application process. Follow the directions given while applying and upload all forms under the documents tab when prompted. You must upload your transcripts with every application, as they do not upload automatically from your profile when you apply. Human Resources does not have access to UIS transcripts. To obtain these, please contact the Office of Records and Registration by emailing registrar@uis.edu. Assistive Technology Users Assistive technology users may apply through our accessible application form. Please refer to job postings for all requirements. Out-of-State Applicants For classes requiring technical qualifications; i.e., a high degree of specialized experience, training or education, for which there is an inadequate supply of qualified applicants who are citizens of, or residents in, the State of Illinois, the DER (Designated Employer Representative) may waive the residency requirement and admit out-of-state residents to the examination only in accordance with the following criteria: Preference for employment in the universities and agencies under the System shall be granted to residents of Illinois. Such preference shall be extended when the qualifications of residents and non-residents applying for admission to examinations are substantially equal. The responsibility for the implementation and enforcement of this policy shall rest with the DERs of the universities and agencies, subject to periodic review by the Director or his/her designee. While the residency requirement provides a significant preference in the original employment of Illinois residents to fill vacant positions within the University System, current status employees may be admitted to any examination based on their current status appointment and seniority within their class, irrespective of their current residence. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments. In September 2019, the Department of Labor (DOL) issued revised regulations for exemption from FLSA. The revised rule is effective January 1, 2020. Additional Resources on FLSA are available on the University of Illinois System Human Resources website. If you have questions, please contact UIS HR.

Individuals take examinations for specific classifications and their scores are placed on lists called registers.  Scores appear on a register in order, from highest to lowest.  Registers change each time new scores are added or removed. When a vacancy occurs in a department, those already on the register will need to re-apply to be considered for the current vacancy and will be notified by email when one is posted.  Generally, the candidates with the top three scores are contacted for an interview opportunity.</li></ul> <p class="has-medium-font-size">How long does my score stay on the register?</p> <ul><li>Generally speaking, your score is good for up to two years.  You are also removed upon hire, request, or failure to respond to the Human Resources office, among other reasons.</li></ul> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Can I take the test over again?</p> <ul><li>You may request to re-write the exam up to three times within one calendar year.  Each instance of the exam must be taken at least 30 days apart, and this applies to all State University testing centers.</li></ul> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Can I appeal my test score?</p> <ul><li>Yes, your initial step in appealing the exam score is to contact Human Resources immediately following receipt of the Notice of Examination Score. Human Resources will explain how that particular score was reached. If you require further explanation regarding your examination score, you may contact the University System Office by email (info@sucss.illinois.gov) or by U.S. mail. You may find the <a href="https://www.sucss.illinois.gov/documents/pm/Examination/5.13a.pdf">Exam Request Challenge form</a>. The total time limit for contacting the employer and the University System is within 30 days after receiving the Notice of Examination Score. For more information, please visit the <a href="https://www.sucss.illinois.gov/default.aspx">State Universities Civil Service Systems website</a>.</li></ul> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Can I transfer my score?</p> <ul><li>Yes, you may request to transfer your test scores to other State University institutions.  For more information, please <a href="https://www.uis.edu/hr/contact/">contact Human Resources.</a></li></ul> <p class="has-medium-font-size">How do I upload my transcripts and other documents?</p> <ul><li>Transcript must be uploaded during the application process. Follow the directions given while applying and upload all forms under the documents tab when prompted. You must upload your transcripts with every application, as they do not upload automatically from your profile when you apply. Human Resources does not have access to UIS transcripts.

Such preference shall be extended when the qualifications of residents and non-residents applying for admission to examinations are substantially equal. The responsibility for the implementation and enforcement of this policy shall rest with the DERs of the universities and agencies, subject to periodic review by the Director or his/her designee.</p> <p>While the residency requirement provides a significant preference in the original employment of Illinois residents to fill vacant positions within the University System, current status employees may be admitted to any examination based on their current status appointment and seniority within their class, irrespective of their current residence.</p> <div style="height:38px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h2><a></a>Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)</h2> <p>The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments.</p> <p>In September 2019, the Department of Labor (DOL) issued revised regulations for exemption from FLSA.
