NRS284.177. Plan to encourage continuity of service.

      1.  A plan to encourage continuity of service, administered by the Division, is hereby established for employees with 8 years or more of continuous state service. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 284.179, an employee rated standard or better with 8 years or more of continuous service is entitled to receive a semiannual payment of $75 plus:

      (a) An annual increase of $25 in the semiannual payment for each year of the employee’s ninth through fourteenth years of continuous service;

      (b) An annual increase of $50 in the semiannual payment for each year of the employee’s fifteenth through twenty-fourth years of continuous service; and

      (c) An annual increase of $75 in the semiannual payment for each additional year of continuous service after 24 years, up to a maximum of 30 years of continuous state service.

      2.  An interruption in continuous state service terminates the employee’s eligibility for additional pay pursuant to subsection 1.

      3.  Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, no year served before the interruption may be counted in determining the employee’s subsequent eligibility. This provision does not apply to an employee who was employed before July 1, 1981, unless the employee leaves state service after that date.

      4.  As used in this section, “continuous service” means uninterrupted service as defined by the Commission.
