Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(40 ILCS 5/16-155) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-155)

Sec. 16-155. Report to system and payment of deductions.

(a) The employer shall submit to the System all required reports and contributions for salary paid during any month by the 10th of the following month. Additionally, all required contributions
for salary earned during a school term are due by July 10 following the
close of such school term.

The governing body of each State institution coming
under this retirement system, the State Comptroller or other State officer
certifying payroll vouchers including payments of salary or wages to
teachers, and any other employer of teachers, shall, monthly, forward to
the secretary of the retirement system the member contributions required
under this Article.

Each employer specified above shall, prior to August 15 of each year,
forward to the System a detailed statement, verified in all cases of school
districts by the secretary or clerk of the district, of the amounts so
contributed since the period covered by the last previous annual statement,
together with required contributions not yet forwarded, such payments being
payable to the System.

The board may prescribe rules governing the form, content, investigation,
control, and supervision of such statements and may establish additional interim employer reporting requirements as the Board deems necessary.   If no teacher in
a school district comes under the provisions of this Article, the
governing body of the district shall so state under the oath of its
secretary to this system, and shall at the same time forward a copy of
the statement to the regional superintendent of schools.

The board may also require reporting requirements that are different than those prescribed in this Section and may require different reporting requirements for different benefits or purposes established under this Article, including, but not limited to, any optional benefit plan an employee chooses to participate in.

(b) If an employer that is not a State agency fails to forward such
required contributions within the time permitted in subsection (a) above,
the System shall notify the employer of an amount
due, equal to
 $50 per day for each day that elapses from the due date until the day such report and contributions are received by the System.

(c) If the system, on August 15, is not in receipt of the detailed
statements required under this Section of any school district or other
employing unit, such school district or other employing unit shall pay to
the system an amount equal to $250 for each day that elapses from August
15, until the day such statement is filed with the system.
