WVC 5 - 10 - 15 A

§5-10-15a. Retirement credited service through member's use, as

option, of accrued annual or sick leave days.

     (a) Any member accruing annual leave or sick leave days may,

after June 27, 1988, elect to use the days at the time of

retirement to acquire additional credited service in this

retirement system. Except as provided in subsection (b) of this

section, the accrued days shall be applied on the basis of two

workdays credit granted for each one day of such accrued annual or

sick leave days, with each month of retirement service credit to

equal twenty workdays and with any remainder of ten workdays or

more to constitute a full month of additional credit and any

remainder of less than ten workdays to be dropped and not used,

notwithstanding any provisions of the code to the contrary,

including section twelve, article sixteen of this chapter. Such

credited service shall be allowed and not deemed to controvert the

requirement of no more than twelve months credited service in any

year's period.

     (b) For those persons who first become members of the

retirement system on or after July 1, 2015, accrued annual or sick

days may not be applied to acquire additional credited service.
