1.25 years of service; 451 through 540 full calendar |
| 2 |
| days and 301 through

| Only uncompensated, unused sick leave earned in accordance with |
| 7 |
| an
employer's sick leave accrual policy generally applicable to |
| 8 |
| employees or a
class of employees shall be taken into account |
| 9 |
| in calculating service credit
under this Section. Any |
| 10 |
| uncompensated, unused sick leave granted by an
employer to |
| 11 |
| facilitate the hiring, retirement, termination, or other |
| 12 |
| special
circumstances of an employee shall not be taken into |
| 13 |
| account in calculating
service credit under this Section.
If a |
| 14 |
| participant transfers from one employer to another, the
unused |
| 15 |
| sick leave credited by the previous employer shall be |
| 16 |
| considered in
determining service to be credited under this |
| 17 |
| Section, even if the
participant terminated service prior to |
| 18 |
| the effective date of P.A. 86-272
(August 23, 1989); if |
| 19 |
| necessary, the retirement annuity shall be
recalculated to |
| 20 |
| reflect such sick leave credit. Each employer shall
certify to |
| 21 |
| the board the number of days of unused sick leave accrued to |
| 22 |
| the
participant's credit on the date that the participant's |
| 23 |
| status as an
employee terminated. This period of unused sick |
| 24 |
| leave shall not be
considered in determining the date the |
| 25 |
| retirement annuity begins.
