IL HB1871

State agencies with 50+ employees must implement secure websites for employees to access electronic earnings statements beginning with fiscal year 2015 payrolls, with paper copies available upon request.

Retirement systems processing annuities through the Illinois Comptroller's Office must establish secure websites for annuitants to access electronic earnings statements for fiscal year 2015 and beyond, with optional paper statements.

The Illinois Comptroller's Office will discontinue printing paper earnings statements for direct deposit users starting fiscal year 2015, unless employees or annuitants request paper copies.

State agencies and retirement systems unable to launch secure websites by July 1, 2014, must submit documentation to the Comptroller explaining the delay and provide implementation timeline; the Comptroller may grant extensions up to 12 months.

All agencies and retirement systems must notify employees and annuitants about the new websites and provide instructions on how to access them before implementation.
