7 (30 ILCS 5/3-5.5 new)
8 Sec. 3-5.5. Wage and compensation survey. The Auditor
9 General shall conduct a wage and compensation survey of all
10 privately operated entities providing residential services to
11 the mentally ill or developmentally disabled whose care is
12 funded in whole or in part by grants from the Department of
13 Human Services or by reimbursement from Medicaid funds,
14 excluding care provided in general or psychiatric hospitals
15 and excluding care provided by agencies whose residential
16 service programs total less than 20 beds.
17 The survey shall include, but shall not be limited to,
18 the wage and salary schedules by classification for all
19 direct care, administrative, managerial, and supervisory
20 positions; the average wage for each such classification; the
21 insurance (health, life, or other) benefits provided to
22 employees and the cost of premiums borne by both the employee
23 and the employer; and the pension benefits provided. If
24 significant disparities in compensation of employees are
25 found between facilities, the Auditor General shall determine
26 if these disparities are related to size, type of facility,
27 or geographic location.
28 In addition, the Auditor General shall determine whether
29 surveyed entities provided to their direct care employees, on
30 average, an increase in compensation equal to the amount of
31 any FY98 or FY99 cost-of-living increase provided by the

7 each of the entities, shall be reported to the General
8 Assembly within 9 months after the effective date of this
