Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

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.


330 ILCS 61/1-15

    (330 ILCS 61/1-15)
    Sec. 1-15. Differential compensation.
    (a) As used in this Section, "work days" are the actual number of shifts the employee would have worked during the period of military leave but for the service member's military obligation. "Work days" are tabulated up to 24 continuous hours in a shift, regardless if the shift extends into the next calendar day. A shift that extends beyond 24 continuous hours will be calculated as an additional work day.
    (b) Differential compensation under this Act is calculated on a daily basis and only applies to days in which the employee would have otherwise been scheduled or required to work as a public employee. Differential compensation shall be paid to all forms of active service except active service without pay. Differential compensation is calculated as follows:
        (1) To calculate differential compensation, subtract
    
the daily rate of compensation for military service from the daily rate of compensation as a public employee.
        (2) To calculate the daily rate of compensation as a
    
public employee, divide the employee's regular compensation as a public employee during the pay period by the number of work days in the pay period.
        (3) To calculate the daily rate of compensation for
    
military service, divide the employee's base pay for the applicable military service by the number of calendar days in the month the service member was paid by the military. For purposes of inactive duty, the daily rate of compensation for military service is calculated in accordance with the applicable drill pay chart issued by Defense Finance and Accounting Services.
