You may also have compensation that is not reportable for retirement purposes such as bonus payments or expense payments. These payments aren't included when we calculate your final average compensation (FAC) or figure the actuarial cost of a service credit purchase. Compensation that is reportable for retirement purposes includes wages, annual leave, sick leave, merit pay, longevity, and overtime pay. If you have questions about what was reported, please contact your employer.

All wages and hours that may be used toward retirement are reported to ORS. However, there are limits to the amount of service we can credit in a period. You may have worked your hours faster than the law allows us to credit service. If you worked your 2,080 hours in fewer than 26 pay periods, you will not receive a full year of service credit. We cannot credit more than 80 hours per pay period or 2,080 hours a year.

All service rendered as a state police officer is counted for retirement service credit. You will not receive additional service credit for overtime. Also, you cannot receive more than one year of service credit for any year that you work.

Service credit can only be granted for actual hours worked. If you work less than full-time or as an intermittent employee, you will receive credit for the hours you have worked, not to exceed 80 hours per pay period. For example, if you have worked on a 50% basis for 20 years, your service credit will equal 10 years.

In rare cases, an employee's varying continuous hours and retirement service credit totals may be related to the inadvertent counting of LTD (Long Term Disability) time by a human resource office, or discrepancies in part-time or intermittent service.

Your time in the military may count toward your retirement credit. The retirement statute specifically directs how the military service must be credited for retirement purposes. Because of this you must submit a Military Discharge paper, DD214, directly to the ORS to ensure your time is counted in your retirement credit. Even if your continuous hours total on account with your human resource office reflects your military time, you still have to submit a DD214 form to ORS.

If your military time occurred during your state service, you may be entitled to retirement service credit at no cost. If your military time did not interrupt your state service, you may purchase military service credit. For additional information regarding purchasing military service, please refer to the military service rules.

Some leaves of absence are creditable for retirement purposes, while others are not. If you received workers' compensation or were paid by the state during your leave of absence, you should have continued to accumulate retirement service credit. However, if you did not receive workers' compensation or payment from the state, you did not earn retirement credit for that period of time.

Please contact ORS to see whether retirement service credit can be given for your particular type of leave.

Yes. If you received a grievance settlement involving retroactive crediting of retirement service, then you should have received retirement credit. Make sure ORS has received documentation of the settlement. If you are unsure if the settlement has been credited, please contact ORS.
