COUNTY SHERIFFS AND TERMINATION DECISIONS AS REVIEWED BY THE MERIT BOARD

HESSEMARTONE is proud to represent several Illinois county sheriff departments and law enforcement employers. An interesting case on the use of Merit Boards, their role in administrative review, and employment termination decisions was released last week. The Cook County Merit Board, who reviews challenged terminations by the union, had been constituted of members who were serving for less than the full term. The circuit court reviews the Merit Board’s decisions.
