Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(40 ILCS 5/16-130) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-130)

Sec. 16-130.

Creditable service - whole or portion of year.

(a) Except
as provided in paragraph (6) of subsection (b) of Section 16-127, only one
year of service is creditable for all service in any one school year.

(b) For employment prior to July 1, 1990, service rendered for the
regular legal school term, if creditable hereunder, is equivalent to one
year of service, and time less than a legal school term shall be counted as
a portion of a year in the ratio that the number of days paid bears to the
number of days
required at the time to constitute a legal school term; however, service of
170 or more days in any school year after June 30, 1959 shall constitute a
year of service.

(c) Creditable service for periods of employment after June 30, 1990
shall be calculated as follows:

For full-time, part-time, and substitute teachers, creditable service in
any school year shall be
that fraction of a year equal to the ratio of
days paid in the legal school term, or the employment agreement if longer, to
170 days.

(d) Creditable service for optional service verified after July 1, 1990
for periods of employment prior to July 1, 1990 shall be calculated as follows:

For full-time, part-time, and substitute teachers, creditable service in
any school year shall be that fraction of a year that is equal to the ratio
of days paid in the legal school term, or employment agreement if longer,
to either the number of days required at the time of service to constitute
a legal school term or the number of days in the employment agreement,
whichever is greater.  However, service of 170 or more days in any school
year after June 30, 1959 shall constitute a year of service.
