• On any day which is not one of your employer's scheduled work days if you were in active service on the preceding scheduled work day.

Annualized Monthly Benefit Pay
All compensation paid for the regular schedule applicable to your job assignment including shift differential and overtime. It excludes most other forms of compensation such as pay in lieu of vacation, relocation allowances, bonuses, imputed income, and overtime and shift differential paid for work outside the regular schedule applicable to your job.

Barred Employee

Benefit Service
Benefit service is defined as, generally, all the time from the first day of employment until you terminate as a regular employee. Excluded are: unauthorized absences; leaves of absence of over 30 days (except military leaves or leave under the Federal Family and Life Leave Act); certain absences from which you do not return; periods when you work as a non-regular employee, as a special-agreement person, in service station, car wash, or car-care center operations, or when you are covered by a contract that requires the company to contribute to a different benefit program, unless a special authorization credits the service.
