Local Officers and Servants (Dublin) Act, 1941

Preservation of continuity of service.

2.—Where an officer or servant of the corporation was absent from duty during any period in respect of which this Act applies and the period of absence would, but for this section, be regarded for the purposes of the pension enactments as breaking the continuity of his service with the corporation, the following provisions shall have effect for those purposes, that is to say:—

(a) the period of absence shall be regarded as not breaking the continuity of his service with the corporation, and

(b) notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, the length of the period of absence shall not be taken into account in reckoning the length of his service with the corporation nor, where an allowance for life or a gratuity is granted to him, in reckoning the amount thereof.
