(40 ILCS 5/14-106) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 14-106)
(Text of Section WITH the changes made by P.A. 98-599, which has been
held unconstitutional)
Sec. 14-106. Membership service credit.
(a) After January 1, 1944, all
service of a member since he last became a member with respect to which
contributions are made shall count as membership service; provided, that
for service on and after July 1, 1950, 12 months of service shall
constitute a year of membership service, the completion of 15 days or
more of service during any month shall constitute 1 month of membership
service, 8 to 15 days shall constitute 1/2 month of membership service
and less than 8 days shall constitute 1/4 month of membership service.
The payroll record of each department shall constitute conclusive
evidence of the record of service rendered by a member.
(b) For a member who is employed and paid on an academic-year basis
rather than on a 12-month annual basis, employment for a full academic year
shall constitute a full year of membership service, except that the member
shall not receive more than one year of membership service credit (plus any
additional service credit granted for unused sick leave) for service during
any 12-month period. This subsection (b) applies to all such service for which
the member has not begun to receive a retirement annuity before January 1,
2001.
(c) A person who first becomes a member before
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General
Assembly shall be entitled to additional service credit, under
rules prescribed by the Board, for accumulated unused sick leave credited
to his account in the last Department on the date of withdrawal from
service or for any period for which he would have been eligible to receive
benefits under a sick pay plan authorized by law, if he had suffered a
sickness or accident on the date of withdrawal from service. It shall be the
responsibility of the last Department to certify to the Board the length of
time salary or benefits would have been paid to the member based upon the
accumulated unused sick leave or the applicable sick pay plan if he had
become entitled thereto because of sickness on the date that his status as
an employee terminated. This period of service credit granted under this
paragraph shall not be considered in determining the date the retirement
annuity is to begin, or final average compensation.
(d) A person who first becomes a member on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General
Assembly shall not be entitled to additional service credit for
accumulated unused sick leave. (Source: P.A. 98-599, eff. 6-1-14.) (Text of Section WITHOUT the changes made by P.A. 98-599, which has been
