[Adopted 11-16-1982, effective 12-1-1982 (Ch. 9, § 9.61,
of the 1986 Code)]
The County of McLean, Illinois, provides pension
coverage under the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, hereafter referred
to as "IMRF."
A.
The 1982 Manual for Authorized Agents specifies at
Section 3.65B that "if a probationary policy is established by appropriate
action of the governing body, the probationary position may be classified
as separate from a permanent position. If the probationary position
is one normally expected to require performance of duty for less than
the annual six-hundred-hour standard,[1] then an employee will not participate in IMRF while employed
in the probationary position. During this time the employee would
be covered by social security only."
[1]
Editor's Note: The current IMRF standard is 1,000 hours.
B.
Certain positions at the McLean County Nursing Home
have experienced, and will continue to experience, a high rate of
turnover because of the nature of the employment, and such turnover
creates an unnecessary fiscal burden when enrolling and terminating
such short-term employees. Therefore, it has been ordained that certain
positions be excluded from IMRF coverage until the one-thousand-hour
standard has been satisfied.
