Service credit for authorized leave of absence

Any period or periods of authorized leave of absence without pay totaling not more than 10 working days in a calendar year will be considered as creditable service. Once the total of any period or periods of authorized leave of absence without pay exceeds 10 working days in a calendar year, the entire period or periods of absence will be considered as an interruption of employment and no credited service will be granted. Service is credited on a daily rate basis for all full-time permanent employment with the state or a participating political subdivision. The table supplied by the consulting actuaries is used for computation purposes.
