3-12-85. Service credit for leave of absence--Contributions to cover period of absence. A member taking a leave of absence authorized by his employer may receive credited service during such leave if employee and employer contributions are made to the system during such leave by or on behalf of the employee. Such contributions shall be at the rates in effect during such leave and shall be based on the member's rate of compensation immediately prior to such leave. Such contributions shall be transmitted to the system at least monthly. For purposes of calculation of benefits, the member shall be considered to have received compensation during the period of such leave at the rate used to calculate the contributions made during such leave. If contributions are not made during such leave, the member may receive credited service for such leave by making, or having made on his behalf, contributions as provided in § 3-12-83.
