- Monthly employees accrue when they are on a pay status of at least 50% of their monthly working hours based on FTE for six or more months
- Biweekly employees accrue on the last pay cycle of each month (B3X or B2X if there is no B3X) when they are on pay status at least 50% of the applicable hours.
- Employees do not accrue employment service credit for months in which they are on pay status less than 50% of the time.
- Leave with pay or leave without pay due to a work-related injury or illness are counted towards the employment service credit calculation.
- Employment service credit calculation does not include other leaves without pay.
- Policy-covered staff employees can reference the Absence from Work policy for more details.
