Donald E. Brewer, Claimant, vs. State of Illinois, State Fair Agency, Respondent.
Opinion filed February 10, 1975.
William K. Cavanagh, Attorney for Claimant.
William J. Scott, Attorney General; William E. Webber, Assistant Attorney General, for Respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This claim arises as a result of an hourly increase for plumbers from $7.96 to $8.96. This increase was approved by the Department of Labor and reported to the State Fair Agency on September 25, 1974, thereby allowing insufficient time for changes to be made for the payroll effective period. Back salary is sought for April 1, 1974, through June 30, 1974. The Departmental Report indicates that Mr. Brewer is due $472.
We find that claimant is entitled to back salary in the gross amount of $472.00, plus employer contributions of $57.82, for a total employee benefit of $529.82 which should be disbursed by the Comptroller and credited as follows:
To the State Employees' Retirement System as follows:
$ 18.88 Employee's contribution to State Employees' Retirement System
$ 27.62 Employee's contribution to F.I.C.A.
$ 30.21 State's contribution to State Employees' Retirement System
$ 27.61 State's contribution to F.I.C.A.
To the Illinois State Treasurer to be remitted to the Internal Revenue Service:
$ 0 as claimant's Federal Income Tax withholding for current taxable year.
To the Illinois Department of Revenue, Income Tax Division:
$ 0 as claimant's Illinois Income Tax withholding for current taxable year.
Net to claimant:
$425.50 as claimant's net salary after all of the above contributions and withholdings have been deducted from the above total employee benefit.
It Is, Therefore, Ordered that claimant be and is hereby awarded, the total employee benefit of $529.82, (Five Hundred Twenty-Nine Dollars And Eighty-Two Cents) to be disbursed and credited in accordance with our above finding.
