(k) Contract for less than 12 calendar months. An individual
eligible to accrue lifetime service credit who works for a state agency
under a formal written contract for less than 12 calendar months each
year accrues 12 calendar months of credit each year if the individual
is constantly under contract during the calendar months the individual
does not work. The individual is constantly under contract if the
individual's contract for the next work period is entered into before
the end of the existing work period, even though the individual will
not work during the interim period.
(l) Military service. If an individual leaves a position
that accrues lifetime service credit (or that would have accrued lifetime
service credit had the longevity pay law been in effect when the individual
left the position) to serve in the military and the individual is
reemployed with the state after completing that service in accordance
with any applicable federal or state veterans' reemployment law, the
individual accrued lifetime service credit during that service, even
if the individual is on leave without pay during the individual's
period of military service.
