7 Sec. 7-139. Credits and creditable service to employees.
8 (a) Each participating employee shall be granted credits
9 and creditable service, for purposes of determining the amount
10 of any annuity or benefit to which he or a beneficiary is
11 entitled, as follows:
12 1. For prior service: Each participating employee who
13 is an employee of a participating municipality or
14 participating instrumentality on the effective date shall
15 be granted creditable service, but no credits under
16 paragraph 2 of this subsection (a), for periods of prior
17 service for which credit has not been received under any

1 of prior service with that employer without any employee
2 contribution.
3 If the effective date of participation for the

5 instrumentality is after January 1, 1998, creditable
6 service shall be granted for the last 20% of the period of
7 prior service with that employer, but no more than 5
8 years, without any employee contribution. A participating
9 employee may establish creditable service for the
10 remainder of the period of prior service with that
11 employer by making an application in writing, accompanied
12 by payment of an employee contribution in an amount
13 determined by the Fund, based on the employee contribution
14 rates in effect at the time of application for the
15 creditable service and the employee's salary rate on the
16 effective date of participation for that employer, plus
17 interest at the effective rate from the date of the prior
18 service to the date of payment. Application for this
19 creditable service may be made at any time while the
20 employee is still in service.
21 A municipality that (i) has at least 35 employees;
22 (ii) is located in a county with at least 2,000,000
23 inhabitants; and (iii) maintains an independent defined
24 benefit pension plan for the benefit of its eligible
25 employees may restrict creditable service in whole or in

9 instrumentality after the effective date and becomes a
10 participating employee is entitled to creditable service
11 for prior service as otherwise provided in this
12 subdivision (a)(1) only if he or she renders 2 years of
13 service as a participating employee after the effective
14 date. Application for such service must be made while in a
15 participating status. The salary rate to be used in the
16 calculation of the required employee contribution, if any,
17 shall be the employee's salary rate at the time of first
18 reentering service with the employer after the employer's
19 effective date of participation.
20 2. For current service, each participating employee
21 shall be credited with:

10 benefits payable under this Article.

12 for leave of absence only if such leave is approved by
13 the governing body of the municipality, including
14 approval of the estimated cost thereof to the
15 municipality as determined by the fund, and employee
16 contributions, plus interest at the effective rate
17 applicable for each year from the end of the period of
18 leave to date of payment, have been paid to the fund in
19 accordance with Section 7-173. The contributions shall

8 period of prior service.
9 5. For military service: The governing body of a
10 municipality or participating instrumentality may elect to
11 allow creditable service to participating employees who
12 leave their employment to serve in the armed forces of the
13 United States for all periods of such service, provided
14 that the person returns to active employment within 90
15 days after completion of full time active duty, but no
16 creditable service shall be allowed such person for any
17 period that can be used in the computation of a pension or
18 any other pay or benefit, other than pay for active duty,
19 for service in any branch of the armed forces of the United
20 States. If necessary to the computation of any benefit,
21 the board shall establish municipality credits for
22 participating employees under this paragraph on the
23 assumption that the employee received earnings at the rate
24 received at the time he left the employment to enter the

7 completion of full time active duty by entering the
8 service of a different municipality or participating
9 instrumentality, which has elected to allow creditable
10 service for periods of military service under the
11 preceding paragraph, shall also be allowed creditable
12 service for his period of military service on the same
13 terms that would apply if he had been employed, before
14 entering military service, by the municipality or
15 instrumentality which employed him after he left the
16 military service and the employer costs arising in
17 relation to such grant of creditable service shall be
18 charged to and paid by that municipality or
19 instrumentality.
20 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any participating
21 employee shall be entitled to creditable service as
22 required by any federal law relating to re-employment
23 rights of persons who served in the United States Armed
24 Services. Such creditable service shall be granted upon
25 payment by the member of an amount equal to the employee

11 of the military service that is satisfactory to the Board;
12 (2) obtain the written approval of the current employer;
13 and (3) make contributions to the Fund equal to (i) the
14 employee contributions that would have been required had
15 the service been rendered as a member, plus (ii) an amount
16 determined by the board to be equal to the employer's
17 normal cost of the benefits accrued for that military
18 service, plus (iii) interest on items (i) and (ii) from
19 the date of first membership in the Fund to the date of
20 payment. The required interest shall be calculated at the
21 regular interest rate.
22 The changes made to this paragraph 5.1 by Public Acts
23 95-483 and 95-486 apply only to participating employees in
24 service on or after August 28, 2007 (the effective date of

12 purchased times the average rate of earnings for the first
13 2 years of service with the municipality or participating
14 instrumentality whose governing body authorizes the
15 service established plus interest at the effective rate on
16 the date such credits are established, payable from the

13 restriction and, in addition, if the governing body of the
14 participating municipality or participating
15 instrumentality elects to allow creditable service for all
16 employees excluded by the age restriction prior to January

8 accumulated under a sick leave plan established by a
9 participating municipality or participating
10 instrumentality which is available to all employees or
11 a class of employees.
12 b. Except as provided in item b-1, only sick leave
13 days accumulated with a participating municipality or
14 participating instrumentality with which the employee
15 was in service within 60 days of the effective date of
16 his retirement annuity shall be credited; If the
17 employee was in service with more than one employer
18 during this period only the sick leave days with the
19 employer with which the employee has the greatest
20 number of unpaid sick leave days shall be considered.
21 b-1. If the employee was in the service of more
22 than one employer as defined in item (2) of paragraph
23 (a) of subsection (A) of Section 7-132 or regional

6 General Assembly, then the sick leave days from all
7 such employers, except for employers from which the
8 employee terminated service before the effective date
9 of this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly,
10 shall be credited, as long as the creditable service
11 attributed to those sick leave days does not exceed

14 b-1, the sick leave days from the last employer shall
15 be considered first, then the remaining sick leave
16 days shall be considered until there are no more days
17 or the maximum creditable sick leave threshold under
18 item d of this paragraph 8 has been reached.
19 c. The creditable service granted shall be

24 effective date of the retirement annuity, or the final
25 rate of earnings.
26 d. The creditable service shall be at the rate of

10 number of accumulated unpaid sick leave days credited
11 to the employee at the time of termination of service.

17 credits pursuant to Section 4-108.3, 5-235, 8-226.7,
18 14-105.6, or 16-131.4, and payment by the member of the

20 contributions that would have been required if he had
21 participated in this Fund as a sheriff's law enforcement
22 employee during the period for which credit is being
23 transferred, plus interest thereon at the effective rate
24 for each year, compounded annually, from the date of
25 termination of the service for which credit is being
26 transferred to the date of payment, exceeds (2) the amount

6 under Section 3-110.3: Credits and creditable service
7 shall be granted for service under Article 3 of this Act as
8 provided in Section 3-110.3, to any active member of this
9 Fund, upon transfer of such credits pursuant to Section
10 3-110.3. If the board determines that the amount
11 transferred is less than the true cost to the Fund of
12 allowing that creditable service to be established, then
13 in order to establish that creditable service, the member
14 must pay to the Fund an additional contribution equal to
15 the difference, as determined by the board in accordance
16 with the rules and procedures adopted under this
17 paragraph. If the member does not make the full additional
18 payment as required by this paragraph prior to termination
19 of his participation with that employer, then his or her
20 creditable service shall be reduced by an amount equal to
21 the difference between the amount transferred under
22 Section 3-110.3, including any payments made by the member
23 under this paragraph prior to termination, and the true
24 cost to the Fund of allowing that creditable service to be
25 established, as determined by the board in accordance with
26 the rules and procedures adopted under this paragraph.
