Common use of Calculating Service Clause in Contracts

Calculating Service. Service means employment by the County, whether with or without pay status. The length of service may be calculated by counting calendar days except for: 1. Permanent part time employees, whose service shall be counted in calendar days in proportion to the fixed percentage of full time work to which his/her position is budgeted and allocated. 2. Extra-help, whose service shall be counted in actual hours worked. Calculation of length of service in a particular status or classification shall be counted from the first working day of that employee. Length of service shall be calculated in order to ascertain the following: service in a class, service in a department, service in a class in a department, service in a status, service with the County, service for reasons of displacement (under Rule XII,7,B), or for such other purpose as may be required by these rules. If an employee has terminated from County employment, periods of service prior to such termination shall not be counted towards calculating length of service; however, interruption of service in a class as a result of layoff, promotion, demotion, probationary status, temporary or provisional assignment in another class, or retirement for service connected or non-service connected disability for which the retirement allowance is subsequently canceled by the Retirement Board because the disability no longer exists, shall not constitute a break in service in calculating such service.
