Acts 240 and 245 and as merged by the legislative reference bureau under s. 13.92 (2) (i). 40.05(4)(at)(at) An employer shall pay, on behalf of a nonrepresented managerial employee in a position described under s. 40.02 (48) (am) 7. or 8., who was initially employed by the state before July 1, 2011, the same premium contribution rates required by par. (ag) that are paid by the employer for represented employees in positions described under s. 40.02 (48) (am) 7. or 8. who were initially employed by the state before July 1, 2011. 40.05(4)(b)(b) Except as provided under pars. (bc) and (bp), accumulated unused sick leave under ss. 13.121 (4), 36.30, 230.35 (2), 233.10, 238.04 (8), and 757.02 (5) and subch. V of ch. 111 of any eligible employee shall, at the time of death, upon qualifying for an immediate annuity or for a lump sum payment under s. 40.25 (1) or upon termination of creditable service and qualifying as an eligible employee under s. 40.02 (25) (b) 6. or 10., be converted, at the employee’s highest basic pay rate he or she received while employed by the state, to credits for payment of health insurance premiums on behalf of the employee or the employee’s surviving insured dependents. Any supplemental compensation that is paid to a state employee who is classified under the state classified civil service as a teacher, teacher supervisor, or education director for the employee’s completion of educational courses that have been approved by the employee’s employer is considered as part of the employee’s basic pay for purposes of this paragraph. The full premium for any eligible employee who is insured at the time of retirement, or for the surviving insured dependents of an eligible employee who is deceased, shall be deducted from the credits until the credits are exhausted and paid from the account under s. 40.04 (10), and then deducted from annuity payments, if the annuity is sufficient. The department shall provide for the direct payment of premiums by the insured to the insurer if the premium to be withheld exceeds the annuity payment. Upon conversion of an employee’s unused sick leave to credits under this paragraph or par. (bf), the employee or, if the employee is deceased, the employee’s surviving insured dependents may initiate deductions from those credits or may elect to delay initiation of deductions from those credits, but only if the employee or surviving insured dependents are covered by a comparable health insurance plan or policy during the period beginning on the date of the conversion and ending on the date on which the employee or surviving insured dependents later elect to initiate deductions from those credits. If an employee or an employee’s surviving insured dependents elect to delay initiation of deductions from those credits, an employee or the employee’s surviving insured dependents may only later elect to initiate deductions from those credits during the annual enrollment period under par. (be). A health insurance plan or policy is considered comparable if it provides hospital and medical benefits that are substantially equivalent to the standard health insurance plan established under s. 40.52 (1). 40.05(4)(bc)(bc) The accumulated unused sick leave of an eligible employee under s. 40.02 (25) (b) 6e. or 6g. shall be converted to credits for the payment of health insurance premiums on behalf of the employee on the date on which the department receives the employee’s application for a retirement annuity or for lump sum payment under s. 40.25 (1). The employee’s unused sick leave shall be converted at the eligible employee’s highest basic pay rate he or she received while employed by the state. The full premium for the employee, or for the surviving insured dependents of the employee if the employee later becomes deceased, shall be deducted from the credits until the credits are exhausted and paid from the account under s. 40.04 (10), and then deducted from annuity payments, if the annuity is sufficient. The department shall provide for the direct payment of premiums by the insured to the insurer if the premium to be withheld exceeds the annuity payment. 40.05(4)(be)(be) The department shall establish an annual enrollment period during which an employee or, if the employee is deceased, an employee’s surviving insured dependents may elect to initiate or delay continuation of deductions from the employee’s sick leave credits under par. (b). An employee or surviving insured dependent may elect to continue or delay continuation of such deductions any number of times. If an employee or surviving insured dependent has initiated the deductions but later elects to delay continuation of the deductions, the employee or surviving insured dependent must be covered by a comparable health insurance plan or policy during the period beginning on the date on which the employee or surviving insured dependent delays continuation of the deductions and ending on the date on which the employee or surviving insured dependent later elects to continue the deductions. A health insurance plan or policy is considered comparable if it provides hospital and medical benefits that are substantially equivalent to the standard health insurance plan established under s. 40.52 (1). 40.05(4)(bf)(bf) Any eligible employee who was granted credit under s. 230.35 (1) (gm) for service as a national guard technician, who, on December 31, 1965, had accumulated unused sick leave that was based on service performed in this state as a national guard technician before January 1, 1966, and who is a participating employee or terminated all creditable service after June 30, 1972, or, if the eligible employee is deceased, the surviving insured dependents of the eligible employee, may have that accumulated unused sick leave converted to credits for the payment of health insurance premiums on behalf of the eligible employee or the surviving insured dependents if, not later than November 30, 1996, the eligible employee or the surviving insured dependents submit to the department, on a form provided by the department, an application for the conversion. The application shall include evidence satisfactory to the department to establish the applicant’s rights under this paragraph and the amount of the accumulated unused sick leave that is eligible for the conversion. The accumulated unused sick leave shall be converted under this paragraph, at the eligible employee’s highest basic pay rate he or she received while employed by the state, on the date of conversion specified in par. (b) or on the last day of the 2nd month beginning after the date on which the department receives the application under this paragraph, whichever is later. Deductions from those credits, elections to delay initiation of those deductions and premium payments shall be made as provided in par. (b). 40.05(4)(bm)(bm) Except as provided under par. (bp), accumulated unused sick leave under ss. 36.30 and 230.35 (2), 233.10, or 238.04 (8) of any eligible employee shall, upon request of the employee at the time the employee is subject to layoff under s. 40.02 (40), be converted at the employee’s highest basic pay rate he or she received while employed by the state to credits for payment of health insurance premiums on behalf of the employee. Any supplemental compensation that is paid to a state employee who is classified under the state classified civil service as a teacher, teacher supervisor or education director for the employee’s completion of educational courses that have been approved by the employee’s employer is considered as part of the employee’s basic pay for purposes of this paragraph. The full amount of the required employee contribution for any eligible employee who is insured at the time of the layoff shall be deducted from the credits until the credits are exhausted, the employee is reemployed, or 5 years have elapsed from the date of layoff, whichever occurs first. 40.05(4)(bp)1.1. Except as provided in subds. 2. and 3., for sick leave which accumulates beginning on August 1, 1987, conversion under par. (b) or (bm) of accumulated unused sick leave under s. 36.30 to credits for payment of health insurance premiums shall be limited to the annual amounts of sick leave specified in this subdivision. For faculty and academic staff personnel who are appointed to work 52 weeks per year, conversion is limited to 8.5 days of sick leave per year. For faculty and academic staff personnel who are appointed to work 39 weeks per year, conversion is limited to 6.4 days of sick leave per year. For faculty and academic staff personnel not otherwise specified, conversion is limited to a number of days of sick leave per year to be determined by the secretary by rule, in proportion to the number of weeks per year appointed to work. 40.05(4)(bp)2.2. The limits on conversion of accumulated unused sick leave which are specified under subd. 1. may be waived for nonteaching faculty who are appointed to work 52 weeks per year and nonteaching academic staff personnel if the secretary of administration determines that a sick leave accounting system comparable to the system used by the state for employees in the classified service is in effect at the institution, as defined in s. 36.05 (9), and if the institution regularly reports on the operation of its sick leave accounting system to the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin System. 40.05(4)(bp)3.3. The limits on conversion of accumulated unused sick leave which are specified under subd. 1. may be waived for teaching faculty or teaching academic staff at any institution, as defined in s. 36.05 (9), if the secretary of administration determines all of the following: 40.05(4)(bp)3.a.a. That administrative procedures for the crediting and use of earned sick leave for teaching faculty and teaching academic staff on a standard comparable to a scheduled 40-hour work week are in operation at the institution. 40.05(4)(bp)3.b.b. That a sick leave accounting system for teaching faculty and teaching academic staff comparable to the system used by state employees in the classified service is in effect at the institution. 40.05(4)(bp)3.c.c. That the institution regularly reports on the operation of its sick leave accounting system to the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin System. 40.05(4)(br)1.1. Employers shall pay contributions that shall be sufficient to pay for the present value of the present and future benefits authorized under pars. (b), (bc) and (bw). Subject to subd. 2., the board shall annually determine the contribution rate upon certification by the actuary of the department. The contribution rates determined under this paragraph shall become effective on January 1 of the calendar year in which they are applicable and shall remain in effect during that year. 40.05(4)(br)2.2. Beginning in 1985, the initial contribution rate determined under subd. 1. may not exceed the employer’s costs under pars. (b) and (bc) for the previous calendar year by more than 0.2 percent of covered payroll. Each subsequent contribution rate determined under subd. 1. may not exceed the employer’s costs under this paragraph for the previous calendar year by more than 0.2 percent of covered payroll. 40.05(4)(bw)(bw) On converting accumulated unused sick leave to credits for the payment of health insurance premiums under par. (b), the department shall add additional credits, calculated in the same manner as are credits under par. (b), that are based on a state employee’s accumulated sabbatical leave or earned vacation leave from the state employee’s last year of service prior to retirement, or both. The department shall apply the credits awarded under this paragraph for the payment of health insurance premiums only after the credits awarded under par. (b) are exhausted. This paragraph applies only to state employees who are eligible for accumulated unused sick leave conversion under par. (b) and who are entitled to the benefits under this paragraph pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement under subch. V of ch. 111. 40.05(4)(by)1.1.

The board, upon certification by the actuary, shall determine the contribution rate to be paid by employers for the period beginning on July 1, 1997, and ending on December 31, 1997. In determining the contribution rate for this period, the board shall consider any remaining unfunded present and future liability for any benefits arising under subch. IX before July 1, 1997. 40.05(4)(c)(c) The employer shall contribute toward the payment of premiums for the plan established under s. 40.52 (3) the amount established under s. 40.52 (3). 40.05(4)(d)(d) For insurance premium withholding purposes, an insured employee on more than one payroll shall have a premium withheld only under the department or agency paying the greater portion of the employee’s earnings. 40.05(4g)(4g) Payment of health insurance premiums for state employees activated for military duty in the U.S. armed forces. 40.05(4g)(a)(a) In this subsection, “eligible employee” means a state employee to whom all of the following apply: 40.05(4g)(a)1.1.
