Bitner v. City of Perkin

The Illinois Supreme Court held that section 1(b) of the Illinois Public Employee Disability Act, which provides for public employers to make payments to employees who are injured in the line of work, does not prohibit employers from deducting payroll taxes from those payments. (THEIS, NEVILLE, OVERSTREET, HOLDER WHITE, ROCHFORD, and O’BRIEN, concurring)
