3-12C-513. Service credit for leave of absence--Contributions to cover period of absence. A member taking a leave of absence authorized by the member's employer may receive credited service during the leave if employee and employer contributions are made to the system during the leave by or on behalf of the employee. The contributions shall be at the rates in effect during the leave and shall be based on the member's rate of compensation immediately prior to the leave. If a member's rate of compensation causes the member's compensation for the calendar year to exceed the maximum taxable amount for social security, the contributions shall include the additional contribution pursuant to § 3-12C-402. The contributions shall be transmitted to the system at least monthly. For purposes of calculation of benefits, the member shall be considered to have received compensation during the period of the leave at the rate used to calculate the contributions made during the leave. If contributions are not made during the leave, the member may receive credited service for the leave by making contributions, or having contributions made on the member's behalf as provided in § 3-12C-504.
