Contract Seniority. For purposes of this Agreement, contract “seniority” shall be of two (2) types: A. County Seniority, which is an employee's length of continuous service with the County since her or his most recent date of hire. B. Parole-Probation Officer Seniority, which is an employee's length of continuous service with the Department as a Parole-Probation Officer since her or his most recent date of hire. Continuous service means the period of service with the County unbroken by separation from employment with County. Time spent by an employee on a paid leave or job-related illness or injury shall be included as continuous service. Time spent on unpaid authorized leave in excess of thirty (30) days will not be counted as continuous service, except as mandated by state or federal law (e.g. FMLA/OFLA), but employees returning from unpaid authorized leave and from layoff status shall be entitled to credit for service prior to the leave or layoff.
