Total Compensation Reporting

PUBLIC ACT 97-0609

Illinois Public Act 97-0609 is an amendment to the Open Meetings Act that requires employers participating in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund to post the total compensation package for each employee having a total compensation package that exceeds $75,000 per year. The law was signed by Gov. Pat Quinn on August 26, 2011. It amends the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund statute and establishes new requirements for Illinois public bodies. 

Public Act 97-0609 became effective, January 1, 2012. This act amends the Illinois Open Meetings Act and the Illinois Pension code and established new requirements for Illinois public bodies.

Among the law's requirements are the following:

1) All IMRF employers must post, within 6 days of the approval of a budget, the total compensation package for each employee having a total compensation package that exceeds $75,000 per year; and

2) Any IMRF employer that approves an employee's total compensation package equal to or in excess of $150,000 per year must post on its website, at least 6 days before approval, the total compensation package for that employee.

"Total compensation package" for purposes of the Act means "payment by the employer to the employee for salary, health insurance, a housing allowance, a vehicle allowance, a clothing allowance, bonuses, loans, vacation days granted, sick days granted."

The City of Peru elects to provide employee compensation for all of its full time employees regardless of salary level.
