| 1 | | leave,
1.25 years of service; 451 through 540 full calendar | 2 | | days and 301 through
360 full work days, 1.5 years of service; | 3 | | 541 through 630 full calendar

of service .
| 6 | | Only uncompensated, unused sick leave earned in accordance with | 7 | | an
employer's sick leave accrual policy generally applicable to | 8 | | employees or a
class of employees shall be taken into account | 9 | | in calculating service credit
under this Section. Any | 10 | | uncompensated, unused sick leave granted by an
employer to | 11 | | facilitate the hiring, retirement, termination, or other | 12 | | special
circumstances of an employee shall not be taken into | 13 | | account in calculating
service credit under this Section.
If a | 14 | | participant transfers from one employer to another, the
unused | 15 | | sick leave credited by the previous employer shall be | 16 | | considered in
determining service to be credited under this | 17 | | Section, even if the
participant terminated service prior to | 18 | | the effective date of P.A. 86-272
(August 23, 1989); if | 19 | | necessary, the retirement annuity shall be
recalculated to | 20 | | reflect such sick leave credit. Each employer shall
certify to | 21 | | the board the number of days of unused sick leave accrued to | 22 | | the
participant's credit on the date that the participant's | 23 | | status as an
employee terminated. This period of unused sick | 24 | | leave shall not be
considered in determining the date the | 25 | | retirement annuity begins.
