One-Year Break in Service means a twelve (12) consecutive month period during which the Participant does not complete more than 500 Hours of Service.

One-Year Break in Service means, for purposes of determining a Participant’s service pursuant to Article II, an Eligibility Computation Period during which the Employee did not complete more than five hundred (500) Hours of Service. For purposes of determining if an Employee incurred a One Year Break in Service, if an Employee is absent from employment for maternity or paternity reasons, such Employee shall receive credit for the Hours of Service which would otherwise have been credited to such Employee but for such absence but in no event shall more than five hundred (500) Hours of Service be credited during a computation period. Such credit shall be applied to the computation period during which such absence from employment first occurs, if such credit will prevent a One Year Break in Service, otherwise, such credit shall be applied to the immediately following computation period. An absence from employment for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence (a) by reason of pregnancy of the Employee, or (b) by reason of a birth of a child of the Employee, or (c) by reason of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by such Employee, or (d) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.

One-Year Break in Service means a period of at least 12 consecutive months in which an Employee is absent from service. A One Year Break in Service will begin on the Employee’s termination date (as defined in Section 1.38) and will end on the day on which the Employee again performs an Hour of Service for a Controlled Group Member. If an Employee who is absent from work with a Controlled Group Member because of (i) the Employee’s pregnancy, (ii) the birth of the Employee’s child, (iii) the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the Employee’s adoption of the child, or (iv) caring for such child immediately following such birth or placement, will be absent for such reason beyond the first anniversary of the first date of his absence, his period of absence, solely for purposes of preventing a One Year Break in Service, will commence on the second anniversary of the first day of his absence from work. The period of absence from work between the first and second anniversaries of the first date of his absence from work will not be taken into account in determining whether the Employee has completed a Year of Service. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply to an Employee unless the Employee furnishes to the Committee such timely information that the Committee may reasonably require to establish (i) that the absence from work is for one of the reasons specified in this paragraph and (ii) the number of days for which there was such an absence.
