If a member, upon termination of employment, is compensated for the member's unused accumulated leave or compensatory time in a lump sum, no retirement contributions are to be submitted and no retirement credit will be granted for that payment. The purpose of this rule is to prevent an artificial inflation of an employee's average final compensation upon which the employee's retirement benefit calculation will be based.
