Longevity/State Service Information

All employment with the System and any other agency or institution of the State of Texas, including employment as a student worker, will count as creditable state service for longevity and hazardous duty pay purposes. Employment with independent school districts and/or junior or community colleges is not state employment.

Creditable service is to be counted regardless of method of salary payment (hourly, monthly, etc.), length of appointment, percentage of full-time worked, continuity of service, or eligibility for longevity and hazardous duty pay in a prior position. Length of service is determined by counting the actual days, months and years of state employment.
