Seven additional years of full-time service following the return from sabbatical leave shall be required in order to establish eligibility for another sabbatical leave. Qualifying service shall be construed as seventy-five (75%) of the regular work year. A year in which the applicant has rendered some service but has failed to serve 75% of the regular work year shall not be counted as full-time service but shall not be counted as an interruption of the seven-year consecutive period.
