Leaves of Absence and Service Credit

Special 20- and 25-Year Plans
For PFRS Tier 2, 3 (Article 11), 5 and 6 Members
(Sections 384, 384-d and 384-e)

A member’s service credit only accumulates for any period of time you receive earnings, therefore no service credit is given for the following:

  • Leaves of absence without pay;
  • Authorized, unpaid medical leaves of absence; or
  • Unpaid leave taken under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act.

Tier 2, 3, 5 and 6 members receive half credit for sick leave at half pay.
