service
If you're reinstated to active employment, the entire period of your leave will count as vesting and eligibility service in the Retirement Plan and the Employee Savings Investment Plan (except as follows) and as benefit accrual service in the Retirement Plan. If you're eligible to accrue health and welfare eligibility service, the entire period while on leave will count as health and welfare eligibility service.
If you work for others for pay during your leave without securing advance permission from Chevron, if you do not return to work on the first workday after your leave ends, or if you do not apply for reinstatement, your vesting and eligibility service and health and welfare eligibility service will end on the earliest of the following:
- 365 days from the date the leave began.
- The date Chevron determines you began work for others for pay.
- The date the leave ends.
In these instances, no time on leave will count as benefit accrual service for the Retirement Plan.
returning to work
If you return to work as scheduled, you'll be reinstated in your old job.
