7/01/92


Fiscal Agent Handbook Index  Civil Service Employment

The guidelines stated below are used in Payroll for checking time sheets and posting military leave of Civil Service employees.
An employee who is a member of any reserve component of either the U.S. Armed Forces or the Illinois State Militia shall be granted leave for any period actively spent in such military service, including:

 
 
 1)  basic training; 
 2) special or advanced training, whether or not within the state, and  whether or not voluntary; 
 3)  annual training.
During such leaves, the employee's seniority and other benefits shall continue to accrue.
During leaves for annual training, the employee shall continue to receive his/her regular compensation from the University, irrespective of military pay.During leaves for basic training and up to 60 calendar days of special or advanced training, if an employee's compensation for military activities is less than his/her compensation as an employee of the University, he/she shall receive his/her regular employee compensation minus the amount of his/her base pay for military activities.Such deduction shall be reflected on the 1st payroll following verification of military pay.
A member of the National Guard (or other state military components), who is called to temporary active duty in cases of civil disturbance or natural disaster declared to be an emergency by the governor, may receive a combined wage from the University and the military equal to, but not exceeding, his/her straight time daily rate for work days absent.If the daily rate received by temporary active duty exceeds the daily rate the employee receives from the University, the employee may elect to accept the higher rate, in which case he/she shall receive no compensation from the University.The amount of compensation received for temporary active duty shall be reported to the Payroll office within 30 days after release from temporary active duty.Appropriate adjustment to offset the amount received shall be made on the next regular payroll.Time used for temporary active duty shall not be deducted from the time allowed for regular military training periods.
A copy of the official orders must be attached to the employee's time sheet for the pay period involved.
If you have any questions regarding these guidelines call extension 5195.
