Six (6) hour employees shall accrue credited service in accordance with the following formula: (i) effective August 1, 2002 through December 31, 2007, eighty dollar ($80.00) per credited year of service in a six (6) hour job and (ii) effective January 1, 2008, eighty-seven dollars ($87.00) per credited year of service in a six (6) hour job.

In addition, effective for any employee leaving Covered Employment after January 1, 2014, there shall be a service pension benefit at 35, 30 and 25 years of service at any age and a 25 years of service benefit at age 60. The benefit shall be calculated as set forth below. In each case the years of service shall include all years in a three (3) hour and six (6) hour guarantee job.
The 35 year service pension at any age shall be calculated based on $80 times the number of years of service in a six (6) job plus the number of years of service in a three (3) hour guarantee job times the service pension accrual rate applicable to the employee when he held the three (3) hour job.
The 25 year service pension at age sixty (60) and the 30 year service pension any age shall be calculated using the same formula. The 25 year service pension at any age shall be calculated based on $70 times the number of years of service in a six (6) job plus the number of years of service in a three (3) hour guarantee job times the service pension accrual rate applicable to the employee when he held the three (3) hour job.
12. Three (3) hour employees shall only have bump rights if their job is eliminated. Six (6) hour employees shall have bump rights to another six (6) hour or three (3) hour guarantee position if their assigned work days of the week are changed or the job is eliminated. A three (3) hour employee can only bump into another three (3) hour guarantee position. The following will be the manner in which they may exercise seniority: the employee may bump a junior employee from a three (3) hour job or a six (6) hour position. The employee may also take an open six (6) hour position if one exists. If the displaced employee bumps to a three (3) hour position or an open six (6) hour position, this shall end the bump process. The original bump will constitute the original move. Thereafter two (2) more moves, if needed will be allowed. After the original move and two (2) others the final displaced employee must bump to a three (3) hour position, the most junior six (6) hour position, or take the open six (6) hour position, the most junior six (6) hour position, or take the open six (6) hour position if one exists. If the most junior six (6) hour employee is bumped he/she will become a three (3) hour employee. Employees in the Fueling, Marshalling and PSC classifications will be limited to moves within their classification. In the event there is no one junior to them the employee can exercise his/her seniority to displace a junior six (6) hour employee in another six (6) hour classification.
