16. If an employee simultaneously holds more than one pensionable employment with the same employer under the plan, the service accumulated by the employee is credited up to one year of service, beginning with service in respect of the employment to which the highest annual basic salary that is paid or would have been paid to the employee under the conditions of employment applicable on the last day credited in the year is attached.
However, no employee may, in the year in which the employee becomes a member of this plan, be credited with more service than the number of contributory days comprised between the date on which the employee becomes a member of this plan and the end of that year. During the year in which the employee retires or becomes entitled to a deferred pension, the employee may not be credited with more service than the number of contributory days comprised between 1 January and the date the employee ceased to be a member of the plan.
As a result of the application of the first two paragraphs, an employee is deemed to hold only one pensionable employment with the same employer.
If an employee simultaneously holds more than one pensionable employment with different employers under this plan, the first two paragraphs apply, once the first three paragraphs have been applied, if necessary, in respect of the service accumulated with each employer.
