6 months | 4 | | during the academic year in which his or her employment
is | 5 | | terminated, the annual final rate of earnings shall be 25% of | 6 | | the sum
of (1) the annual basic compensation for that year, and | 7 | | (2) the amount
earned during the 36 months immediately | 8 | | preceding that year, if this is
greater than the final rate of | 9 | | earnings as calculated under the other
provisions of this | 10 | | Section.

part of an employee's earnings for any | 13 | | academic year beginning after June 30,
1997, which exceeds the | 14 | | employee's earnings with that employer for the
preceding year | 15 | | by more than 20 percent shall be excluded; in the event
that an | 16 | | employee has more than one employer
this limitation shall be | 17 | | calculated separately for the earnings with
each employer. In | 18 | | making such calculation, only the basic compensation of
| 19 | | employees shall be considered, without regard to vacation or | 20 | | overtime or to
contracts for summer employment.

earnings: (1) severance or separation | 23 | | pay, (2) retirement pay, (3)

| 13 | | (i) Intermittent periods of service shall be considered as | 14 | | consecutive in
determining final rate of earnings.

member's | 20 | | reinstated accumulated normal and additional contributions and | 21 | | the
other half shall be allocated as an employer contribution | 22 | | to the System,
except that any amount repaid for previously | 23 | | purchased military service
credit under Section 15-113.3 shall | 24 | | be accounted for as such.
| 25 | | (c) If a participant covered under the traditional
benefit | 26 | | package has made survivors insurance contributions, but has no

| 13 | | contributions, the participant forfeits all rights and credits | 14 | | which may
have accrued because of such contributions.

annuity | 20 | | the value of which is equal to the accumulated normal, | 21 | | additional and

| | | 09900SB0777ham001 | - 9 - | LRB099 07693 RPS 35804 a |
|
| 1 | | retirement annuity
under Rule 1 or 3 of Section 15-136, he or | 2 | | she shall be entitled at
retirement to a refund of the | 3 | | difference between his or her accumulated
normal contributions | 4 | | and the normal contributions which would have
accumulated had | 5 | | such person filed a waiver of the retirement formula
provided | 6 | | by Rule 4 of Section 15-136.
| 7 | | (g) If, at the time of retirement, a participant would be | 8 | | entitled to
a retirement annuity under Rule 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of | 9 | | Section 15-136, or under
Section 15-136.4, that exceeds
the | 10 | | maximum specified in clause (1) of subsection (c) of Section | 11 | | 15-136, he
or she shall be entitled to a refund of the employee | 12 | | contributions, if any,
paid under Section 15-157 after the date | 13 | | upon which continuance of such
contributions would have | 14 | | otherwise caused the retirement annuity to exceed
this maximum, | 15 | | plus compound interest at the effective rates.

| 21 | | Sec. 15-157. Employee Contributions.
| 22 | | (a) Each participating employee
shall make contributions | 23 | | towards the retirement
benefits payable under the retirement | 24 | | program applicable to the

3 1/2% of earnings; from September 1, 1949 | 3 | | to August 31, 1955, 5%; from
September 1, 1955 to August 31, | 4 | | 1969, 6%; from September 1, 1969, 6 1/2%.
These contributions | 5 | | are to be considered as normal contributions for purposes

| 7 | | Each participant who is a police officer or firefighter | 8 | | shall make normal
contributions of 8% of each payment of | 9 | | earnings applicable to employment as a
police officer or | 10 | | firefighter under this system on or after September 1, 1981,

he or she is employed as a | 14 | | police officer or firefighter, whichever is later,
a written | 15 | | notice waiving the retirement formula provided by Rule 4 of | 16 | | Section
15-136. This waiver shall be irrevocable. If a | 17 | | participant had met the
conditions set forth in Section | 18 | | 15-132.1 prior to the effective date of this
amendatory Act of | 19 | | 1991 but failed to make the additional normal contributions
| 20 | | required by this paragraph, he or she may elect to pay the | 21 | | additional
contributions plus compound interest at the | 22 | | effective rate. If such payment
is received by the board, the | 23 | | service shall be considered as police officer
service in | 24 | | calculating the retirement annuity under Rule 4 of Section | 25 | | 15-136.
While performing service described in clause (i) or | 26 | | (ii) of Rule 4 of Section

| | | 09900SB0777ham001 | - 11 - | LRB099 07693 RPS 35804 a |
|
| 1 | | shall be deemed to be employed as a
firefighter for the purpose | 2 | | of determining the rate of employee contributions
under this | 3 | | Section.
| 4 | | (b) Starting September 1, 1969, each participating | 5 | | employee shall make
additional contributions of 1/2 of 1% of | 6 | | earnings to finance a portion
of the cost of the annual | 7 | | increases in retirement annuity provided under
Section 15-136, | 8 | | except that with respect to participants in the
self-managed | 9 | | plan this additional contribution shall be used to finance the
| 10 | | benefits obtained under that retirement program.
| 11 | | (c) In addition to the amounts described in subsections (a) | 12 | | and (b) of this
Section, each participating employee shall make | 13 | | contributions of 1% of earnings
applicable under this system on | 14 | | and after August 1, 1959. The contributions
made under this | 15 | | subsection (c) shall be considered as survivor's insurance
| 16 | | contributions for purposes of this Article if the employee is | 17 | | covered under
the traditional benefit package, and such | 18 | | contributions shall be considered
as additional contributions | 19 | | for purposes of this Article if the employee is
participating | 20 | | in the self-managed plan or has elected to participate in the
| 21 | | portable benefit package and has completed the applicable | 22 | | one-year waiting
period. Contributions in excess of $80 during | 23 | | any fiscal year beginning before
August 31, 1969 and in excess | 24 | | of $120 during any fiscal year thereafter until
September 1, | 25 | | 1971 shall be considered as additional contributions for | 26 | | purposes

|
| 1 | | (d) If the board by board rule so permits and subject to | 2 | | such conditions
and limitations as may be specified in its | 3 | | rules, a participant may make
other additional contributions of | 4 | | such percentage of earnings or amounts as
the participant shall | 5 | | elect in a written notice thereof received by the board.
| 6 | | (e) That fraction of a participant's total accumulated | 7 | | normal
contributions, the numerator of which is equal to the | 8 | | number of years of
service in excess of that which is required | 9 | | to qualify for the maximum
retirement annuity, and the | 10 | | denominator of which is equal to the total
service of the | 11 | | participant, shall be considered as accumulated additional
| 12 | | contributions. The determination of the applicable maximum | 13 | | annuity and
the adjustment in contributions required by this | 14 | | provision shall be made
as of the date of the participant's | 15 | | retirement.
| 16 | | (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participating | 17 | | employee shall not
be required to make contributions under this | 18 | | Section after the date upon
which continuance of such | 19 | | contributions would otherwise cause his or her
retirement | 20 | | annuity to exceed the maximum retirement annuity as specified | 21 | | in
clause (1) of subsection (c) of Section 15-136.
| 22 | | (g) A participant participating employee may make | 23 | | contributions for the purchase of
