Description
Appellee, Betty Secaur, was, on July 17, 1946, certified under the Illinois State Civil Service Act as a field investigator for the Illinois Public Aid Commission, a position she held until January 1, 1949, when she was transferred to a like position in the Department of Registration and Education. On March 18, 1949, she received a notice by mail from the latter department stating that she was discharged for the following reasons: "Mrs. Betty Secaur did not perform any service for our Department. Inquiry discloses she is unknown to any of the personnel of our Department." Following this, appellee requested, and was awarded, a hearing before the commission as provided by the Civil Service Act. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1947, chap. 24 1/2, par. 14.) That body found that her discharge from the department was for just cause and was final. Appellee then instituted administrative review proceedings in the superior court of Cook County, which tribunal entered an order reversing the decision of the commission, holding that there was no just cause for appellees discharge, that the decision of the commission was contrary to law and not supported by the evidence. The State being an interested party, a direct appeal is made to this court by the commission and department director who contend that absence from work is just cause for discharge, and that the decision of the commission was supported by the manifest weight of the evidence. Appellee admits that she did no work from January 1, to March 18, 1949, but contends that Page 199 although she was available for work and frequently requested duties, she was forced not to work during this period because no duties were assigned to her, and that in such case failure to work could not constitute absence from work.
