Each regular full-time nonacademic employee of the System, excluding law enforcement officers eligible for hazardous duty pay under state law, is entitled to longevity pay as outlined in System Regulation 31.01.04, Longevity and Hazardous Duty Pay. In addition, System Regulation 31.01.04 provides for the payment of Hazardous Duty Pay. Provided an employee was actively working in state employment at the time of military deployment and returns to a state position within 90 days of discharge, military time may also count as creditable state service.
2.01 To receive credit for all previous state employment, except employment with Independent School Districts or junior colleges, an employee must provide the Texas A&M AgriLife 9AgriLife)Payroll Services Office with a completed form AG-419, Statement of Previous State Employment, from all prior employers with any agency or institution of the State of Texas for verification of service (including student employment). NOTE: The AG-419 must be completed by the former employer, not the employee.
2.02 As part of the on-line employee processing system, all new employees will have electronic access to form AG-419, Statement of Previous State Employment, and be advised of the requirement to provide the required documentation of previous state service and military time.
2.03 Completed forms AG-419 must be returned to the AgriLife Payroll Services Office for processing and for retention in the employees payroll file.
2.04 An employee returning to state employment following an official leave of absence for active military service is entitled to have time on active military duty counted as creditable service for longevity and hazardous duty pay entitlement.
