A. Establishment of Service Credit Date. A service credit date is established in the following manner. The service credit date for a regular status employee whose hire date occurs on or between the first and the fifteenth of a month will be on the first day of that month. The service credit date for a regular status employee whose hire date occurs on or between the sixteenth and the last day of the month will be on the first day of the following month.

B. Service Credit Date Adjustments. The service credit date for a regular status employee who has an interruption in service due to layoff or a leave of absence without pay for any reason (except active duty military service) will be adjusted to deduct the period of interruption in service (to the nearest whole month); provided, however, that the service credit date for a regular status employee who has completed his/her trial service period whose city employment is interrupted by a layoff and who is subsequently reinstated will also be adjusted so the employee receives credit for his/her continuous service as a regular status employee immediately prior to the effective date of the layoff where the period of the layoff does not exceed two years. (Ord. 6153 § 6, 2014; Ord. 5263 § 1, 2000; Ord. 5094 § 2, 1998.)
