This section is lengthy and involved. It deals
with County employees, County school district
teachers and employees, and employees of the
City of Atlanta. It further deals with these
employees who have not been transferred and who
were not allowed, at the time of the transfer,
credit for all of their service with the govern-
ment from which they were transferred. It pro-
vides for the transfer of matching funds and for
the payment of the employees contribution. It
covers the situation where an employee was not a
member of the pension fund of the government from
which he was transferred.
If an officer or employee was on the payroll of
the City and in good standing at the time he is
inducted into the armed forces, either voluntarily
or involuntarily, and when there is at the time of
such induction an actual conflict or such induc-
tion is mandatory, and if the employee has not
voluntarily extended his term of service beyond
the termination of the conflict or beyond the
time when he could retire from such service, then
the employee, provided he did not receive a dis-
honorable discharge, is entitled, upon his returm
to the service of the City, for the time spent in
the armed forces. The employee must make the
same contributions to the pension fund for the
time served in the armed forces as he would have
made if he had been in the active service of the
City. The contributions must be made in equal
monthly instalments within a period of time equal
to the time served in the armed forces.
The foregoing section is derived from a general
act of local application. Sec. 11.1.41 amends
specifically the pension acts. It also covers
credit for military service when the employee,
prior to such service, was an employee of the City.
The employee's contributions must not be in ar-
rearage for more than 90 days and the employee fur-
ther has the privilege of paying all of the back
payments when or before he returns to his employ-
ment with the City.

prior credit for military service to specifically
cover the Korean conflict and is an amendment to
Sec. 11.1.40. The employee must have been em-
ployed by the City prior to his military service.
However, this section relieves him from making any
contributions to the pension fund for the period
of time during which he was in the military service.
