Prior service in the employment of state government may be used to calculate longevity compensation upon proof of the employment and the date of employment. Prior service is determined by an employee's hire and termination dates. Prior service may be proved by documentation such as state payroll records, a letter of appointment, notice of termination, or pay check stubs. The proof of the prior service, if other than state payroll records, must be approved by the commissioner and must document the employee's hire and termination dates.
