How Full-Time and Part-Time Service Credit Works

Service credit plays a vital part in your pension calculation and your eligibility for other NYSLRS benefits. As a NYSLRS member, you earn service credit by working for an employer who participates in the Retirement System. Your paid public employment is creditable. You would not, however, earn credit for any period when you are not receiving a salary, such as an unpaid leave of absence. You would earn credit for both full-time and part-time employment, but if you work part-time, the service you earn is pro-rated.

Earning Service Credit When You Work Full Time

When you work on a full-time, continuous basis throughout your career, we’ll calculate your total service credit from your date of employment up until the date you leave paid employment. Most full-time workers earn a year of service credit for working 260 workdays a year. For a full-time, 12-month employee, 260 workdays equal a full year. (If you work in an educational setting, you can read about earning service credit in our blog post, How School Employees Earn NYSLRS Service Credit.)

Earning Service Credit When You Work Part Time

Your service credit is prorated if you work part time. Part-time employment is credited as the lesser of:

the number of days worked ÷ 260 days

or

your reported annual salary ÷ (the State’s hourly minimum wage × 2,000)

You can think of it like this: let’s say you work 130 days in a year. If a year’s worth of service credit is earned for working 260 days full time, you’d earn half a year (0.5) of service credit for your part-time work.

How Part-Time Service Credit Works

Check Your Service Credit in Retirement Online

Retirement Online is the fastest way to check your current total estimated service credit. Once you sign in, go to the ‘My Account Summary’ section of your Account Homepage and look under “Account Information.”

You can also use Retirement Online to request credit for public employment from before you joined NYSLRS. If you’re eligible to purchase previous service credit, it’s a good idea to file your request as early in your career as possible because:

  • Records we need to verify your service will be more readily available.
  • If there is a cost, it will be less expensive than if you wait to purchase credit before retirement.
  • Your retirement benefit will be processed more quickly if your service credit request has been reviewed or processed prior to retirement.

For more information, please read our publication Service Credit for Tiers 2 through 6. You may also wish to refer to your specific retirement plan booklet, available on our Publications page.

    I worked as summer help for a local township that participates in the NYS retirement system. I was younger and was never told about the NYS retirement system or given the option. Fast forward many years and I am working for an entity that patriciates in the NYS Retirement system. Will that time in previous years count toward retirement and or would I qualify for a different tier because of when I started?

      You may be able to purchase service credit for public employment before you became a NYSLRS member. Purchasing credit for previous service may improve your pension, but it does not change your membership date or tier.

      You can apply for additional service credit in Retirement Online. To get started:

      Sign in to your account.
      • Scroll down to the ‘My Account Summary’ section of your Account Homepage.
      • Click the “Manage My Service Purchases” button.
      • Click “Request Additional Service Credit.”

    I am waiting for a recalculation of my unused sick and vacation days to use as service credit that should increase my pension by some. I retired 8 months ago and still no indication of when this recalculation will take place. I know I’ll be paid retroactively for what I’m owed, but I’ve been told there’s no limit on the time it will take to calculate the adjustment because they are busy. Why does it take so long to adjust a pension especially when the employer provided all totals up front. Very frustrating. Servicing employees in retirement is the very purpose of the NYS Retirement system.

        How would 35 years and 355 days be counted as a multiplier for years of service for a pension, is it 35.9? or 35.99? What decimal place is used to calculate pensionable time. I am just short of an additional year by 10 days upon retirement.

          Depending on your plan and tier, an additional ten days of service likely would not result in a significant increase to your pension benefit.

    If I worked for a school that only has one part that is part of the NYSLRS and some employees at that school receive NYS benefits and some do not(I did not) I was considered private side. However, as part of my job I continuously helped students out of that part of the college throughout my time there. I am now moving to a SUNY school with NYSLRS benefits am I able to request past credit for service if I was working with those students even though I didn’t receive the direct benefits?

    I worked as a substitute teacher in NYS between 1987 and 1991. In 2017, I started working for NYS and have my 414h retirement as a Tier 6. Is there a way to go back to a Tier 4 from my work as a part time substitute teacher. I understand I would need to buy back my time?

      If you had joined a New York public retirement system during your time as a substitute teacher, you may be eligible to reinstatement your previous membership. You can check with the New York State Teachers’ Retirement System or the New York City Teachers’ Retirement System to see if you had a prior membership.

      If you didn’t join one of the public retirement systems during that time, however, it’s still possible to get credit for your prior service.

    We are civilian first responder employees who work a full time rotating schedule 5 on 2 off 5 on 3 off for a County law enforcement agency bringing us to 248 to 252 days worked per year. Up until May of this year we were required to work 6 extra days per year with no additional wage compensation paid for these days. Due to legal issues involving FLSA as of May these days have been removed, will this negatively impact our service credit?

    I have filled out tier reinstatement and buying back service credit paperwork two years ago and have heard nothing. This was for part-time employment between 2003 and 2009. I have since learned that where I worked while in high school was a county-owned facility. Do I have to fill out the service credit buy back on that as a separate request or will that information be found while doing the one that is two years old? Also, how much longer will it take to get the results from the requests I put in in July 2020? I have called and sent secured emails but have not gotten anything back. Thank you.

        I supplied them with all of my information for service credit in 2019 and waited two years for to be declined. Then I called the facilities I had been employed at in 1983 & 86, they tell me that they were never contacted by NYSLSR. They kindly gave me copies of my old pay stubs by email done in less than 5 mins. Now because they declined me in 2021.I refiled immediately and supplied all proof needed (I did the work for them in 5 minutes) all that and still waiting 8/22. They do not give you any updates while you wait which is very disappointing.

    Five months ago i started the purchase service credit and made partial payment for some of the previous employment with remaining balance set as payroll deductions. Recently i accepted an offer from NYC public agency and will be switching to NYCERS pension system. Would like to know if my purchase credit will be transferred as well when I transfer to NYCERS because i have not yet received the purchased service credit because i need min of 2 years active service for NYSLRS. Can anyone help me address the transfer question? I called numerous times and my call is always disconnected. Thank you

    I submitted my request and forms to purchase service credit on 8/7/2018 and have not gotten complete, accurate information. I have called, emailed, sent documentation as requested and continue to be strung along with no answers. I am told that it will be sent to the Arrears Department and I will be contacted within two weeks with an outcome. This has happened 8 times. For the life of me I cannot understand why I cannot get this information from NYSLRS. They have my maiden name, married name, ss #, date of birth in addition to the forms and paperwork they want completed. If I owed anything to the State you can bet that there would not be the same extension of time, lackadaisical timelines, unprofessionalism. The lack of accountability is REMARKABLE!

      Same seems to be happening with me. Very frustrating! I worked for many years part-time, but always worked extra hours, which should count toward my service credit. I’ve asked for an accounting, but can’t get a firm answer as to what is being found. They found a period of time the state failed to deduct from my paycheck to pay into my retirement, which did earn me some extra service credit, but then closed the case without looking for the extra hours. I just keep submitting service credit requests. Good luck!

      Your NYSLRS pension will be based on your service credit and final average earnings. While you were a part-time employee, your service credit was prorated. As a full-time employee, you will earn one year of service credit for each year of employment.

    Hello, How can I get a recalculation of my service credit BEFORE I retire?

    I have e mailed 3 times and had two phone consultations to try and determine if my service credit was correct so that I could retire ( tier 4, over 55, need 30 yrs service credit) and each time was told my service credit in my account was correct. I was projected to have 30.19 at retirement- all 5 of those contacts, plus two mailed estimates, told me this, and all turned out to be wrong. When I applied to retire a new estimate was sent, stating my projected service credit at retirement was now 30.07. I was told it’s just an “estimate” and nothing is guaranteed. In fact, service credit is recalculated AFTER retirement, and if those previous estimates were wrong and used to determine when to retire, it’s not nyslrs fault. Furthermore, if brought to a hearing and evidence produced that the employee based retirement on the fact that e mails, consultations, and estimates stated service credit was correct, when in fact they wasn’t , it is not sufficient proof of any wrongdoing by nyslrs. Based on that information, I withdrew my retirement application as I could not get any guarantee that my service credit was correct and I did not want to risk being short. I am not in any way blaming the nyslrs employees, who are just doing their jobs. I am asking that nyslrs find a way to help their members get an accurate way to tally service credit before they retire. There has got to be a better way! And if not, nyslrs needs to inform members that they should plan to work at least several months over the service credit calculation in their account, just to be safe.

    That being said, back to my question- is there a way to request an in-depth service calculation ( not an estimate) before applying to retire?

    Thank you very much for any help.

    I worked previously for NYS for a total of approximately 12 weeks in 2003-2004 with NYS Test Distribution Unit. I then returned to State employment in 2010 and have been working full time with NYS Insurance Fund since then. I submitted form RS-5042 (Request to Purchase Service Credit) on 2/6/19 but haven’t received a response yet (apparently response time is 18 months due to backlog). Two questions:
    1) Will I be able to move my retirement tier from tier 5 to tier 4 based on my earlier 2003 start of state employment?
    2) I’m assuming the buy back will only allow me to add the 12 weeks I worked to my service time? Or will I be able to add the entirety of time from 2003 – 2010 to my service time (assuming I pay for the entirety of this period)?

      The amount of service credit you earn while working for a public employer does not determine your tier. When you joined the Retirement System, you were assigned to a tier based on your date of membership. For instance, members of the Employees’ Retirement System (ERS) are in Tier 2 if their date of membership is between July 1, 1973 through July 26, 1976.

      NYSLRS members can’t receive credit for more than one year of service per year.

      However, if you receive salary from two employers during your final average salary (FAS) period, both salaries will be used in calculating your FAS, resulting in a higher FAS. (Final average salary is the average of your highest consecutive years of earnings, and we use it to calculate your pension amount.)

          Your retirement benefit is based on your years of service credit and your final average salary (FAS). As a part-time employee, your service credit is pro-rated. For example, if you work half the hours that a full-time employee works, you will earn six months service credit for each year you work.

          Your latest Member Annual Statement shows how much service you earned in the past fiscal year and your total service credit, and it should show projected benefit amounts for several hypothetical retirement dates. These projections are based on service and salary information we have on file for you.

          Most Tier 1-4 members can use our Benefit Projector Calculator to estimate their retirement benefit. The calculator allows you to enter different retirement dates and service credit totals to compare potential benefits.

      If you are not vested, you may end your membership and request a refund of your contributions by filing a Withdrawal Application (RS5014), available on our website. You must be off the payroll at least 15 days before submitting the application. You can receive the refund directly or roll your contributions over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other qualified retirement plan.

      If you do not withdraw your contributions, they will continue to earn 5 percent interest for seven years. After seven years, if you are still off the public payroll, your membership will automatically end and your contributions will be deposited into a non-interest-bearing account. Your contributions will not be automatically refunded.

      • Received an honorable discharge from active military duty; or

    Is part time service credit calculated to the day exactly or does it round to the month, or half year, or year, etc.

      Your service credit is prorated if you work part-time. Generally, we take your total days worked as reported by your employer and divide it by the number of workdays in a year (usually 260) to calculate your years of service.

      We report the total amount of service credit you earn each year in your Member Annual Statement (MAS). The most recent statement went out this past summer.

      For information about your specific situation, or if you need to request a reprint of your MAS, we recommend emailing our customer service representatives using our secure email form. One of our representatives will review your account and get back to you. Filling out the secure form allows us to safely contact you about your personal account information.

      Generally, you can receive service credit for working for more than one employer at a time. However, NYSLRS members can’t receive credit for more than one year of service per year.

      If you have questions about your particular situation, please email our customer service representatives using our secure email form.

    Is their a program that offers an employee who was part time for a period to buy back credit for full time service?

      Early age penalties are generally based on your age, not how much service credit you have.

      If you are a Tier 3 or 4 member who is trying to reach 30 years of service to retire before age 62, you cannot use your sick leave credit to qualify for the better retirement calculation.

      You may wish to email our customer service representatives using our secure email form at http://www.emailNYSLRS.com. You tell them when you are thinking of retiring and ask if there will be a penalty and they can review your account to answer your questions. Please allow 5 – 7 business days for a response.

      The Member Annual Statement mailing begins this month. Most members can expect to receive their statements by mid-July. Your statement will be mailed to the address we had on file for you as of March 31, 2016. If you moved after March 31 and have not yet notified us of your new address, please fill out and send us a Change of Address (RS5512) form so we can keep your file up-to-date.
