Length of Service Requirements. For purposes of determining changes in an employee's accrual rate, Length of Service Requirement shall not include periods of suspension, or unpaid non-medical leaves of absence, that are more than one full payroll period in duration. However, accrual dates shall not be adjusted for employees on military leave or on FMLA- qualified leave. Length of service requirement shall only include an employee's service in a vacation eligible status. This method shall not be used to change any Length of Service Requirements determined prior to July 30, 1991. An employee with prior 911 dispatch employment in another unit of government who is hired into the State within one year from that prior employment shall be credited with the equivalent number of years of service in that employment, not to exceed five (5) years. Such length-of- service credit shall be used solely for the purpose of determining the appropriate vacation accrual rate. In order to receive such length-of-service credit, an employee must submit documentation of the qualifying service, including evidence of vacation-eligible status in the previously-held position. Any adjustment shall be prospective and becomes effective in the pay period following submission of the proper documentation. Changes in accrual rates shall be made effective at the beginning of the next payroll period following completion of the specified Length of Service Requirement.
