year of service in excess of twenty years. For uniformed members of the fire
department assigned to the 24-hour shift schedule, the working day granted is

tional field. Leave of absence without pay, as
provided in Section 9-141 or 9-164, does not constitute
a break in continuous service as used in this section;

applied toward the accumulation of longevity vacation.

as provided in Section 9-116, does not constitute a
break in service, and the period of absence on such
