Common use of REQUIREMENTS AS TO CONTINUITY OF SERVICE Clause in Contracts

REQUIREMENTS AS TO CONTINUITY OF SERVICE. Service requirements for advancement within pay ranges and for other purposes as specified in this agreement shall have the implication of continuous service, which means employment in the Town service without break or interruption. Leaves of absence with pay and leaves without pay of twenty or less days shall not interrupt continuous service nor be deducted there from. Once an employee completes the probationary period for the position and resigns voluntarily (is not fired), then the appointing authority who need not re-employ the employee unless it wishes to do so, must give the person all benefits and seniority as if there was no break in service. No credit will be given for the period the employee was not employed by the town. No retroactive payments are to be made.
