2.8.4 Credit for Prior  Service following Rehire of Staff or Administrative Personnel
 
   2.8.4.1 General
 
   The purpose of this section is to define the conditions under which an employee may be credited with past service following termination and subsequent rehire. An adjustment of the hire date is necessary to  accrue benefits accurately  based on actual time worked rather than original date of hire.
 
   2.8.4.2 Policy
 
    Employees will be credited with prior service provided the elapsed time between termination and date of rehire does not exceed 365 days, and the previous employment period was in excess of l80 days' duration.
 
    Credit for prior service in such circumstances is implemented by advancing the previous hire date by the number of days equal to those in the break of service.
