Call for hearing(s) on City of Chicago's Ineligibility for Rehire Policy
On May 22, 2024, Chicago's Committee on Ethics and Government Oversight reviewed the updated 'Ineligibility for Rehire' (IFR) policy. Managed by the Department of Human Resources (DHR), the IFR list includes former employees dismissed for cause or misconduct. The May 6 updates clarified IFR criteria, notification, and appeals process, aiming to maintain high hiring standards, protect city workers, and involve the Department of Law and Office of Inspector General.
