169.055. 1. A member who is assigned to a leave of absence by the

member's employer, with compensation provided in the contract of employment

for the leave period to be not less than fifty percent of the amount which

would have been paid had the member not been on leave, may acquire creditable

service for the period of leave. A member may elect to receive credit for

the time spent on leave of absence at the time of the leave of absence and

compensation which would have been received if the member had not been on

leave of absence and the employer's matching amount is remitted on the basis

of the same amount of compensation which would have been paid if the member

had not been on leave of absence.

person employed as of August 28, 1993, by the department of elementary and

secondary education whose employment is covered by the retirement system

provided by sections 169.010 to 169.141, and who without terminating that

employment subsequently becomes a part-time employee of that department in a

position requiring services for at least twenty hours per week on a regular

basis, may elect within ninety days of August 28, 1993, or within ninety days

of the date upon which the part-time employment begins, whichever is later,

to be covered by that retirement system and shall receive pro rata creditable

service with that retirement system for such part-time employment. Credit

shall not be allowable in both that retirement system and another Missouri

public retirement system for such employment.
