Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Each member who is employed by a school
district for less than 12 months per school year and each member of the
professional staff of the Nevada System of Higher Education employed for the
academic year who is employed for less than 12 months per fiscal year is
credited with service as follows:
1. Service is credited on the basis of a
full year if the member works at least 900 hours over the course of not less
than 8 calendar months in a school year.
2. Employment for less than 900 hours over
the course of not less than 8 calendar months in a school year is credited on a
ratio of one and one-third days for each day worked, but credit may not be
given in advance or until the appropriate period has expired.
3. A full year of service is not credited
until the full 12-month period has expired. If the employee begins work under a
new contract before the expiration of the 12-month period for the old contract,
credit must be granted for the period of overlap, as certified by the school
district, at the first period in which there is a lapse in service.
4. Service credit under this section must
be computed according to:
(a) The school year for school district
employees.
(b) The fiscal year for members of the
professional staff of the Nevada System of Higher Education.
5. A member receives full credit while on
sabbatical leave if the public employer certifies that the compensation and
contributions reported for the member are the same as if the member were
employed full-time. If the employer does not so certify, the member receives
credit in the proportion that the members actual compensation bears to the
members previous compensation.
No member
may receive less credit under this section than was provided under the law in
force when the credit was earned.
