In the computation of all part-time service performed prior to January 1, 1973, a member shall receive credit based upon the ratio of his actual earnings during the fiscal year to the total earnings he would have received had he been employed in this position on a full-time basis for the full fiscal year, based on the following schedule:(1) Earnings of less than twenty-five percent: no credit.(2) Earnings equal to twenty-five percent but less than fifty percent: one-quarter of a year of credit.(3) Earnings equal to fifty percent but less than seventy-five percent: one-half of a year of credit.(4) Earnings equal to seventy-five percent but less than one hundred percent: three-quarters of a year of credit.C. In the computation of service, commencing January 1, 1973, and thereafter, a member shall receive credit based on the ratio of his earned compensation during the calendar year to the total base pay he would have received had he been employed in the same position on a full-time basis for the full calendar year. Any fractional part of the ratio shall be rounded off to the next highest one-tenth of a year but not to exceed one hundred percent of a year.D. In no case shall credit be allowed for any period of absence without compensation. A member shall not receive more than one year of credit within any fiscal year prior to January 1, 1973, or within any calendar year after January 1, 1973.E.
