No creditable service for prior employment shall <br />be granted an employee who becomes a member after July 1, 1966, unless the member was <br />employed on July 1, 1966. <br /> <br />If a member resumes employment within one year after the member's employment is <br />terminated and provided the member has not withdrawn his or her accumulated <br />contributions, the member' s creditable service as of the date of termination shall be restored. <br /> <br />Creditable service to date of absence shall not be forfeited by reason of any absence without <br />pay due to leave granted by the city because of illness, military service or, for a period not <br />in excess of one year, for any other reason, provided the employee returns to active service <br />prior to the expiration of his or her leave. <br /> <br />The board of trustees shall fix and determine by property rules and regulations how much <br />service in any year is equivalent to one year of creditable service, but in no case shall more <br />than one year of service be creditable for all service in one calendar year, nor shall the board <br />of trustees allow credit as service for any period of more than one month' s duration during <br />which the member was absent without pay except as provided in subsection E of this section. <br /> <br />Absence from employment because of compulsory military service or military service in <br />time of war shall be considered a leave of absence granted by the city; provided, the <br />employee returns to active employment within the period of time during which the employee <br />has re-employment rights under any applicable federal law or within ninety (90) days from <br />and after discharge from such military service if no federal law is applicable and such service <br />shall be included in creditable service and provided the employee has not withdrawn his or <br />her accumulated contributions. Any other military service will be creditable up to two years <br />if leave of absence is granted by the city prior to such service. <br /> <br />F, <br /> <br />If the employment of a member is terminated for reasons other than disability and the <br />member is employed thereafter, the member shall be considered a new employee for all <br />purposes of the retirement system except as provided by subsection B of this section. <br /> <br />G, <br /> <br />Each member claiming creditable service prior to the operative date shall at the request of <br />the secretary of the board of trustees file such detailed statement as may be required to <br />establish such claimed creditable service. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
