53. For the purposes of qualification for and computation of a pension or, as the case may be, a deferred annuity, a maximum of 90 days is added to the employee’s duration of service to enable him to make up any period of leave without pay during his service, unless a notice to the contrary effect is sent by the employee to the Commission.
In no case, however, may the days provided for in the first paragraph be added in respect of a period of service subsequent to the date on which the employee ceased to occupy an employment contemplated in this act.
