7paid to teachers for that period.
8    The additional 1% employee contribution required under
9Section 16-152 by this amendatory Act of 1998 is the
10responsibility of the teacher and not the teacher's employer,
11unless the employer agrees, through collective bargaining or
12otherwise, to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
13    If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
141, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
15pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
16Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
17this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
18the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
19for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
20the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
21the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
22the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
23termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
24after May 1, 1998.
25    (f) If the amount of a teacher's salary for any school year
26used to determine final average salary exceeds the member's

 

 

SB0538 Engrossed- 18 -LRB097 04285 JDS 44324 b

1annual full-time salary rate with the same employer for the
2previous school year by more than 6%, the teacher's employer
3shall pay to the System, in addition to all other payments
4required under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
5established by the System, the present value of the increase in
6benefits resulting from the portion of the increase in salary
7that is in excess of 6%. This present value shall be computed
8by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and
9tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the
10System that is available at the time of the computation. If a
11teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school year is used to
12determine final average salary under this subsection (f), then
13the changes made to this subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1057
14shall apply in calculating whether the increase in his or her
15salary is in excess of 6%. For the purposes of this Section,
16change in employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code
17on or after June 1, 2005 shall constitute a change in employer.
18The System may require the employer to provide any pertinent
19information or documentation. The changes made to this
20subsection (f) by this amendatory Act of the 94th General
21Assembly apply without regard to whether the teacher was in
22service on or after its effective date.
23    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
24under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
25the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
26shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount

 

 

SB0538 Engrossed- 19 -LRB097 04285 JDS 44324 b

1due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
2within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
3in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
4detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
5that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of
6this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and
7attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are
8pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon
9receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System
10shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate
11the amount due.
12    The employer contributions required under this subsection
13(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
14receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
15within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
16charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
17assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
18the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
19concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
20bill.
21    (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
22salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
231, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
24require the System to refund any payments received before July
2531, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
26    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection

 

 

SB0538 Engrossed- 20 -LRB097 04285 JDS 44324 b

1(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to teachers
2under contracts or collective bargaining agreements entered
3into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
4    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
5(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to a
6teacher at a time when the teacher is 10 or more years from
7retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
8    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
9(f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from
10overload work, including summer school, when the school
11district has certified to the System, and the System has
12approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for
13the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
14standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
15district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
16equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
17computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
18    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
19(f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
20a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
21certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
22Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
23or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's
24previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and
25been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
26year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase

 

 

SB0538 Engrossed- 21 -LRB097 04285 JDS 44324 b

1that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the
2average salary paid for other similar positions in the district
3requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in
4the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position
5requiring the same certification.
6    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
7(f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from
8the State of Illinois or the State Board of Education over
9which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding
10that the payment is included in the computation of final
11average salary.
12    (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under
13subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase
14described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after
15July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or
16collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
17renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011.
18Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
19payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014
20shall be used in assessing payment for any amount due under
21subsection (f) of this Section.
22    (i) The System shall prepare a report and file copies of
23the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by
24January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information:

10    Act 94-1057.
11    (j) For purposes of determining the required State
12contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
13shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
14which shall be calculated as follows:
15    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
16assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
17that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
18assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
19gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
20year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
215-year period following that fiscal year.
22    (k) For purposes of determining the required State
23contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
24value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
25to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.
