-
An Hour of Service for purposes of vesting, participation and determining
Breaks in Service for vesting and participation means each hour for which
an Employee is paid or entitled to be paid by an Employer, whether directly
or indirectly, or during which the Employee is compensated for paid vacation,
holiday or leaves of absence, or for which back pay is awarded or agreed to
by the Employer, irrespective of mitigation of damages. Such hours shall be
credited in accordance with Department of Labor Regulation 2530.200b-2(a)(1),
(2), and (3), and (b) and (c). An Hour of Service shall include not only hours
of Covered Employment, but also contiguous service based on hours for which
the Employee is entitled to be compensated by an Employer on an hourly or
salaried basis for work not covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement or
for work in a job classification under a Collective Bargaining Agreement not
requiring contributions to the Plan.
- Effective July 1, 1983, satisfactory
completion of a period of apprentice training under a Collective Bargaining
Agreement in a classification not requiring contributions to the Plan shall
constitute prima facie evidence that the Participant is entitled to contiguous
service credit for the minimum number of hours required to complete that period
of training under the applicable apprentice training standards.
