Policy on Reemployment of Retirees (17) The trustees of the State Universities Retirement System have requested that employers covered by the retirement system agree to limit annual salary payments to reemployed retirees to that amount which, when added to the annual pension, would not exceed the retiree's highest earnings (including summer session) during any fiscal year prior to retirement. 1 In other words, the intent is that a reemployed retiree not receive from the combined pension and post-retirement salary a larger amount than his or her highest annual salary for any year preceding retirement. University practice at present allows a salary up to the amount of the retirement annuity, the amount authorized by the Illinois Pension Code. I t is understood that similar practices are currently in effect at other state university systems. Under the pension code, if the compensation of such an employee during any month exceeds the monthly retirement annuity, the portion of the annuity provided by employer contributions is not payable. Prior to 1974 University of Illinois practice was generally in accord with the retirement system proposal. It was changed to put University employees on an equal basis with employees at other state university systems in Illinois. I recommend that the trustees adopt prospectively a policy establishing the 1 Executive Director GibaJa's letter follows.
