Earned Service Credit
Full-Time Service
Full-time teachers are entitled to a full year of service credit
upon the completion of 120 days or two quarters of contributing service. Full-time is defined as being employed under a contract that:
- begins and ends on the first and last day of a 365-day year, a 180-day
academic year, or a three-quarter or two-semester academic year, and
- provides compensation equal to 100% of full-time salary as defined
by an employer’s salary schedule for a teacher of the same experience
teaching every day, all day, or for college and university a full-time equivalent (FTE) workload.
If fewer than 120 full-time days are worked, service credit is calculated
as part-time service.
