At the close of each fiscal year, the retirement system shall add service credit to the
account of each member who made contributions to his or her account during the
year. Members shall be entitled to a full year of service credit if their total paid days
were not less than one hundred eighty (180) days of a one hundred eighty-five (185)
day contract for a regular school or fiscal year. In the event a member is paid for
less than one hundred eighty (180) days, the member may purchase credit according
to administrative regulations established by the board of trustees. In no case shall
more than one (1) year of service be credited for all service performed in one (1)
fiscal year. Members who complete their employment contract prior to the close of
a fiscal year and elect to retire prior to the close of a fiscal year shall have their
service credit reduced by eight percent (8%) for each calendar month that the
retirement becomes effective prior to July 1.
Members who are employed and paid for less than the number of days required in
their normal employment year shall be entitled to pro rata service credit for the
fractional service. Such credit shall be based upon the number of days employed
and the number of days in the member's annual employment agreement or normal
employment year.
Service credit may not exceed the ratio between the school or fiscal year and the
number of months or fraction of a month the member is employed during that year.
No service credit shall be granted in the Teachers' Retirement System for service
that has been or will be used in qualifying for annuity benefit payments from
another retirement system financed wholly or in part by public funds.
