Continuous Service Defined. Continuous service is defined as all service in the County regardless of classification and department. When there has been a permanent separation of 90 days or more credit shall be given only for full-time employment following such break in services. If an employee has a break in service less than 90 days, only the time before and after the break would count toward seniority time. Persons hired from a reduction-in-force reemployment list regain all previously earned seniority on the date of reemployment. Employees on approved leaves of absences without pay, catastrophic leave (donated time) or unpaid suspension shall retain seniority accumulated before the leave of absence. The first 60 calendar days on the unpaid leave, catastrophic leave or suspension will be included in the seniority score computation. Time will be deducted starting the 61st calendar day of such leave. Time spent on military leave is not deducted for the purposes of calculating seniority regardless of the length of such leave. Among permanent employees the order of layoff will be determined by the employee’s seniority calculation in the following order:
