A. Commencing October 1, 1989, and thereafter, a member shall receive credit for all service rendered as an assessor, assessor's employee, secretary and regular employees of the fund for which contributions have been paid and not withdrawn.
B. In the computation of service rendered prior to October 1, 1989, creditable service shall be counted from January first of the calendar year in which a member first became a member of the fund.
C. If a member's service is terminated for any cause whatsoever, such time lost shall not be counted as creditable service. If the member elects to leave his or her contributions in the fund, upon his or her return to regular active service in an assessor's office or other creditable employment, creditable service shall count from date of such return to service and be added to his or her prior service, but only if such member returns to active service within ten years after the date of withdrawal from service in an assessor's office or other creditable service.
D. If a member takes a leave of absence governed by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), then upon his return to employment covered by the fund, the member shall share in employer contributions in the same manner as other members and shall not be considered to have terminated employment or to have incurred a break in service during such leave of absence. The employer shall be permitted to make an employer contribution in satisfaction of the affected employee's rights under USERRA. A member who does not return to employment shall not be affected by this provision. The board shall promulgate rules pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, which shall be part of the governing provisions of the fund, to implement the requirements of USERRA.
E. The qualified military service of a member who has been reemployed in accordance with 26 U.S.C. 414(u) shall be treated for vesting and benefit accrual purposes as service completed under Subsection A of this Section if the member timely remits to the system any employee contributions which would have been required but for the member's leave of absence to perform qualified military service in accordance with the terms of federal law.
