Illinois Statutes Chapter 5. General Provisions § 365/7. Deductions; trust funds

§ 7. Any Office in making payment for any item of salary, wages or annuity on a voucher or in disbursing a payroll shall deduct any amount or amounts authorized to be withheld under this Act as certified in such voucher or disbursed in such payroll and shall make payment to the employee or annuitant for the net amount payable to the employee or annuitant. Where payment is made by warrant, information concerning the amount or amounts withheld and the purpose of each such withholding shall be provided on a detachable stub. Where payment is made by the Comptroller by direct deposit, the Comptroller may distribute statements of the amounts and purposes of withholding from such payments intermittently, not less than annually.

Each Office shall create a separate trust fund for the purpose of withholding from employees for the purchase of United States Savings Bonds as provided by this Act. The State Treasurer shall be ex officio, trustee and custodian of such trust fund created by the State Comptroller. The Comptroller shall direct the State Treasurer to deposit to the trust fund the amounts authorized to be withheld for United States Savings Bonds as certified on each payroll or annuitant's voucher.

Such trust fund and each individual employee or annuitant account created by the Comptroller shall be subject to audit the same as funds and accounts belonging to the State of Illinois and shall be protected by the official bond given by the State Treasurer. Trust funds and individual employee or annuitant accounts created by an Office other than the Comptroller shall be subject to audit in the same manner as other funds.
