1 generally applicable to employees or a class of employees shall
2 be taken into account in calculating service credit under this
3 Section. Any uncompensated, unused sick leave granted by an
4 employer to facilitate the hiring, retirement, termination, or
5 other special circumstances of an employee shall not be taken
6 into account in calculating service credit under this Section.
7 If a participant transfers from one employer to another, the
8 unused sick leave credited by the previous employer shall be
9 considered in determining service to be credited under this
10 Section, even if the participant terminated service prior to
11 the effective date of P.A. 86-272 (August 23, 1989); if
12 necessary, the retirement annuity shall be recalculated to
13 reflect such sick leave credit. Each employer shall certify to

15 the participant's credit on the date that the participant's
16 status as an employee terminated. This period of unused sick
17 leave shall not be considered in determining the date the
18 retirement annuity begins.
