Did You Know? "UCRP Service Credit" and "Employment Service Credit" (sometimes called Vacation Service Credit) are different

  *   UCRP Service Credit: used to calculate UCRP benefits (retirement, disability, survivor, and retiree health) for eligible appointments
     *   UCRP Service Credit counts time worked as a UCRP member in an eligible appointment
        *   An eligible appointment is generally working at least 50% or more with an expected duration of at least 12 months
        *   Overtime or time worked as a student, per diem or visiting appointee are not usually eligible for UCRP Service Credit
        *   No UCRP Service Credit is earned for unpaid leave periods, however this time may be eligible for purchase (refer to UCRP Service Credit Purchase Guide)
     *   Part-time or variable-time work in UCRP eligible appointments results in a proportionate amount of service credit earned.
        *   Example: an employee who works 50% time for one year, will receive ½ year of service credit
     *   Accruals are updated on a monthly basis and can be viewed on UCRAYS<https://retirementatyourservice.ucop.edu/>
     *   Additional details on how UCRP works can be found on UC Net<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/compensation-and-benefits/retirement-benefits/ucrp/>
     *   Savings Choice participants also earn service credit in the same manner as a UCRP member earns UCRP service credit.
        *   Savings Choice service credit can count towards eligibility for retiree health benefits, if eligible.
     *   Upon the effective date of a Second Choice Election to Pension, Savings Choice service can count towards vesting in UCRP but not in the calculation of UCRP Benefits


  *   Employment Service Credit: used to determine vacation accrual rate and eligibility for service rewards
     *   Monthly employees accrue when they are on pay status at least 50% of their monthly working hours based on FTE for six or more months
     *   Biweekly employees accrue on the last pay cycle of each month (B3X or B2X if there is no B3X) when they are on pay status at least 50% of the applicable hours

o   Employees do not accrue Employment Service Credit for months in which they are on pay status less than 50% time

     *   Periods of leave with pay and leave without pay due to a work-incurred injury or illness are included when calculating Employment Service Credit
     *   Other leaves without pay are not included when calculating Employment Service Credit
     *   For Policy-covered staff employees, reference the Absence from Work policy<https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/4010406/PPSM-2.210> for more details
     *   Policies for Academic appointees<https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/academic-personnel-policy/index.html> and represented employees covered by Bargaining Unit Contracts<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/labor/bargaining-units/index.html> may differ
