        "text": "Roe, C.J.\nThis cause coming on to be heard on the stipulation of Respondent, due notice having been given the Claimant and the Court being fully advised in the premises. The Court finds:\nThat this claim is for salary due Claimant. The appropriations, by line items, out of which this would have been paid are as follows: 488-55201-1120-0000-83, 488-55201-1161-0000-83, and 488-55201-1170-0000-83.\nClaimant is seeking a lump-sum payment of his accrued vacation days. He was the executive director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission at the time of its abolition by the legislature on March 31,1983. On that date Claimant had 24M accrued vacation days, or a monetary total of $4,318.76.\nClaimant was then transferred to the Illinois Bureau of Employment Security on May 10, 1983. Thus, Claimant had transferred from a position not subject to the Personnel Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 127, par. 63b101 et seq.) to a position subject to the Code.\nAt that time, Claimant sought a lump-sum payment of his accrued vacation days. He made this election in accordance with section 14(a) of the Personnel Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 127, par. 150a), which provides that; . . upon the movement of a State employee ... to a position subject to the Personnel Code from a State position not subject to the Personnel Code ... his accrued vacation and overtime shall be either payable in a single lump sum payment, or . . . credited to the employee\u2019s account...\u201d\nIt is thus apparent that Claimant\u2019s election to receive a lump-sum payment of accrued vacation days was in accordance with applicable law. However, he did not receive such payment because no funds existed in the line item appropriations due to the abolition of the Law Enforcement Commission.\nWe believe this matter is within the purview of section 30 of the Finance Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 127, par. 166), which prohibits a State commission from obligating the State in an amount in excess of the money appropriated, unless expressly authorized by law. We find that Claimant\u2019s election to receive a lump-sum accrued vacation payment was expressly authorized by the Personnel Code, and that Respondent, therefore, remains obligated to pay Claimant\u2019s accrued vacation days through March 31,1983.\nIt is therefore ordered that Claimant be, and hereby is, awarded four thousand three hundred eighteen dollars and seventy-six cents ($4,318.76).\nAPPENDIX A (10% State general rev.)\nIdentification of State Contributions and Deductions from Back Salary Award.\nTo the State Employees\u2019 Retirement System\nEmployee\u2019s contribution to State Employees\u2019 Retirement System _.00\nEmployee\u2019s contribution to FICA _.00\nState\u2019s contribution to State Employees\u2019 Retirement System 23.97\nState\u2019s contribution to FICA _JOO\nTo Illinois State Treasurer to be remitted to Internal Revenue Service:\nClaimant\u2019s Federal income tax 86.38\nTo Illinois Department:\nClaimant\u2019s Illinois income tax 15.12\nTo the Claimant:\nNet Salary 330.38\nTotal award $455.85\nAPPENDIX A (90% Federal funds)\nIdentification of State Contributions and Deductions from Back Salary Award.\nTo the State Employees\u2019 Retirement System\nEmployee\u2019s contribution to State Employees\u2019 Retirement System _.00\nEmployee\u2019s contribution to FICA _.00\nState\u2019s contribution to State\nEmployees\u2019 Retirement System 215.72\nState\u2019s contribution to FICA _.00\nTo Illinois State Treasurer to be remitted to Internal Revenue Service:\nClaimant\u2019s Federal income tax 777.37\nTo Illinois Department:\nClaimant\u2019s Illinois income tax 136.04\nTo the Claimant:\nNet Salary 2973.47\nTotal award $4102.60",
