SERVICE MEMBER EMPLOYMENT-COMP
Last Action
08/15/2025 - House: Public Act . . . . . . . . . 104-0176
Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
330 ILCS 61/1-15  
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Service Member Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. In a provision concerning differential compensation, changes the definition of "work days" to mean the actual number of shifts (rather than days) the employee would have worked during the period of military leave but for the service member's military obligation. Further provides that work days are tabulated without regard for the number of hours in a shift (rather than work day), regardless if the shift extends into the next day. Removes a provision providing that work hours that extend into the next calendar day count as 2 work days.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
330 ILCS 61/1-10  
330 ILCS 61/5-10  
330 ILCS 61/5-5  
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following additional changes: Provides that a service member whose employment with an employer is interrupted by a period of active service shall be permitted, upon request of that service member, to use during such period of service any vacation, annual, or similar leave with pay accrued by the service member before the commencement of such period of active service. In a provision concerning concurrent compensation for public employees who are members of a reserve component, provides that such public employees may receive concurrent compensation for both annual training orders and orders in lieu of annual training in the same calendar year; however, the combined total of their concurrent compensation shall not exceed 30 days in a calendar year. In a provision concerning differential compensation, provides that after a public employee is absent from his or her employment for a consecutive period of 365 days while performing voluntary active service, the employee's entitlement to differential compensation shall be terminated. Further provides that the public employee's right to differential pay shall be reinstated upon the employee's return to work with his or her employer for more than 90 calendar days. Provides that public employees are not entitled to differential pay for periods of unpaid active service including, but not limited to: travel to and from military orders, rest periods immediately before or after military orders, and military service in which the public employee does not receive pay from the military. Provides that "work days" are tabulated up to 24 continuous hours in a shift, regardless if the shift extends into the next calendar day; and a shift that extends beyond 24 continuous hours will be calculated as an additional work day. Makes the bill effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
In provisions concerning differential compensation for public employees during periods of military leave, provides that after a public employee is absent from his or her employment for a consecutive 3-year period (rather than for a consecutive period of 365 days) while performing voluntary active service, the employee's entitlement to differential compensation shall be terminated.
