Ill. Admin. Code tit. 80, § 1600.250 - Sick Leave Accrual Schedule
a)
Under Section 15-113.4 of the Code, SURS grants service credit for unused sick
leave.
b) A participant who retires
within 60 days immediately following his or her termination with an employer
covered under SURS or other system subject to the Retirement Systems Reciprocal
Act [40 ILCS 5/20 ] is entitled to credit for service for that portion of
unused and unpaid sick leave earned in the course of employment.
c) The employer must certify the number of
unused and unpaid sick days consistent with subsection (e) on the member's
termination report provided to SURS, or other form acceptable to
SURS.
d) Service credit is granted
for unused and unpaid sick leave verified by the employer in accordance with
the following schedule:
1) 0-29 full calendar
days and 0-19 full work days = no service credit
2) 30-90 full calendar days and 20-59 full
work days = 0.25 years of service credit
3) 91-180 full calendar days and 60-119 full
work days = 0.50 years of service credit
4) 181-270 full calendar days and 120-179
full work days = 0.75 years of service credit
5) 271 or more full calendar days and 180 or
more full work days = 1 year of service credit
e) Only uncompensated, unused sick leave
earned in accordance with an employer's sick leave accrual policy generally
applicable to employees or a class of employees will be taken into account in
calculating service credit under this Section. Any sick leave granted by an
employer to facilitate the hiring, retirement, termination, or other special
circumstances of a participant will not be taken into account in calculating
service credit for retirement. Other unused benefits, such as vacation days or
personal leave days, even if converted into sick leave under an employer's sick
leave policy or contract, shall not be counted as unused sick leave under this
Section.
f) If a participant
transfers from one employer to another, the unused sick leave credited by the
previous employer will be considered in determining service to be credited
under this Section, even if the participant terminated prior to August 23, 1989
(the effective date of P.A. 86-272), so long as the subsequent employer did not
credit the participant with that sick leave from the previous
employer.
