Elapsed Time Method definition

Elapsed Time Method means a method for crediting service for eligibility, for Vesting, for determining a Participant’s allocation, and/or for applying the allocation conditions as elected in the Adoption Agreement, pursuant to the definition of Period of Service.

Elapsed Time Method means the method of computing Service by reference to the total time (years and months) that elapses between the Employee’s Employment Commencement Date and the Employee’s Severance from Service Date. The total time need not be consecutive. For the purpose of calculating Eligibility Service, Vesting Service and Credited Service, a Participant shall accrue one month for each month in which he is credited with one Hour of Service as a Full-time Employee of the County, and shall accrue one year for each 12 month period. The elapsed time service method calculates years and months by rounding up any days to a whole month. The calculations for Eligibility Service, Credited Service and Vesting Service shall be subject to the Break in Service provisions

Elapsed Time Method means the applicable computation period of 12 consecutive months during which an Employee is not employed by the Employer due to a Separation from Service. Further, solely for the purposes of determining whether a Participant has incurred a one-year Break-in-Service, Hours of Service shall be recognized for "authorized leaves of absence" and "maternity and paternity leaves of absence." Years of Service and one-year Breaks-in-Service shall be measured on the same computation period. A Break-in-Service is a period of severance of at least 12 consecutive months. A period of severance is a continuous period of time during which the Employee is not credited with at least one Hour of Service. Such period begins on the date the Employee retires, quits, or is discharged, or if earlier, the 12 month anniversary of the date on which the Employee was otherwise first absent from Service. In the case of an individual who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons, the 12 consecutive month period beginning on the first anniversary of the first date of such absence shall not constitute a Break-in-Service. For purposes of this Section 1.09(b), an absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence by reason of the: (1) pregnancy of the individual; (2) birth of a child of the individual; (3) placement of a child with the individual in connection with the adoption of such child by such individual; or (4) care of such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and Service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code section 414(u).
