 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 18-133.1)Sec. 18-133.1.     Pickup of contributions.(a) Each employer may pick up the participant contributions required  under Section 18-133 for all salary earned after December 31, 1981.  If an  employer decides not to pick up the contributions, the employee contributions  shall continue to be deducted from salary.  If contributions are picked up they  shall be treated as employer contributions in determining tax treatment under  the United States Internal Revenue Code.  However, the employer shall continue  to withhold Federal and State income taxes based upon these contributions until  the Internal Revenue Service or the Federal courts rule that pursuant to  Section 414(h) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, these contributions  shall not be included as gross income of the participant until such time as  they are distributed or made available.  The employer shall pay these  participant contributions from the same source of funds which is used in paying  earnings to the participant.  The employer may pick up these contributions by a  reduction in the cash salary of the participant or by an offset against a  future salary increase or by a combination of a reduction in salary and offset  against a future salary increase.  If participant contributions are picked up  they shall be treated for all purposes of this Article as participant  contributions were considered prior to the time they were picked up.(b) Subject to the requirements of federal law, a participant may elect to  have the employer pick up optional contributions that the participant has  elected to pay to the System, and the contributions so picked up shall be  treated as employer contributions for the purposes of determining federal tax  treatment.  The employer shall pick up the contributions by a reduction in the  cash salary of the participant and shall pay the contributions from the same  fund that is used to pay earnings to the participant.  The election to have  optional contributions picked up is irrevocable and the  optional contributions may not thereafter be prepaid, by direct payment or  otherwise.  If the provision authorizing the optional contribution requires  payment by a stated date (rather than the date of withdrawal or retirement),  that requirement shall be deemed to have been satisfied if (i) on or before the  stated date the participant executes a valid irrevocable election to have the  contributions picked up under this subsection, and (ii) the picked-up  contributions are in fact paid to the System as provided in the election.
