COMPUTATION OF YEARS OF SERVICE
Years of Service will be computed using the normal nine month academic year. An employee/Regent
will earn credit for a year of service if he/she is employed or assumes office before
January 1st. An employee/Regent must be employed or in office on the last day of the academic
year in order to receive credit for that year. However, if the employee/Regent qualifies
for retirement and elects to retire, the employee/Regent will receive credit for his/her
last year of service if the employee/Regent is employed or serves for a minimum of
one semester during that year.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Responsibility for the coordination of the employee service awards process is assigned to the Vice President for Finance and Administration.
