67.1. 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 officer’s or employee’s duration of service after 31 December 1978 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 officer or 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 an officer or employee ceased to occupy an office contemplated in this act.
