    (15 ILCS 410/16) (from Ch. 15, par. 451)

    Sec. 16. Status of present employees. Employees holding positions in the Office of the Comptroller herein shall continue under the following conditions:

    (1) Employees who have been appointed as the result of having passed examinations in accordance with the provisions of the "Personnel Code", and who have satisfactorily passed the probationary period or who have been promoted in accordance with the rules thereunder, shall be continued without further examination, but shall be otherwise subject to provisions of this Act and the rules made pursuant to it.

    (2) All other such employees subject to the provisions of this Act shall be continued in their respective positions if they pass a qualifying examination prescribed by the Director within 12 months from the effective date of this Act, and satisfactorily complete their respective probationary periods. Such qualifying examinations shall be similar to those required for entrance examinations for comparable positions in the Office of the Comptroller. Appointments of such employees shall be without regard to eligible lists. Nothing herein precludes the reclassification or reallocation as provided by this Act of any position held by such incumbent.

    (3) Employees who have been appointed as the result of having passed examinations pursuant to the provisions of the "Personnel Code" but have not completed their probationary period on the effective date of this Act shall be continued without further examination but shall be otherwise subject to provisions of this Act and the rules made pursuant to it. Time served on probation prior to the effective date of this Act shall count as time served on the probationary period provided by this Act.

    (4) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prejudice, reduce, extinguish or affect the rights or privileges determined through judicial process to have been conferred on any present or past employee under the Illinois Personnel Code. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that present or past employees of the Comptroller have any rights arising from the Illinois Personnel Code, those rights shall be recognized under this Act.

    (5) Any person who, as a result of any court order, court approved stipulation or settlement, has any employment or re-employment rights prior to the effective date of this Act shall continue to have such rights after the effective date of this Act.
