I. C. 5- 10.2 -3 -1.2 permits employers to purchase one year for every five years <br />of service for employees in PERF covered positions under certain conditions. <br />The Mayor shall have discretion to offer such early retirement incentive <br />program, pursuant to statute, after consultation with the Controller and after <br />appropriation by the Common Council. <br />(g) Definition of Full -Time Employee. Full -time employees are those <br />employees who are not in a part time status and who are regularly scheduled <br />to work the City of South Bend's full -time scheduled, forty (40) hours per <br />week, or a reduced full -time schedule of thirty -two (32) hours or more per <br />week as approved by the Mayor on a voluntary basis. Such employees are <br />eligible for the Employer's Benefits Package subject to the terms and <br />conditions and limitations of each benefit program. However, solely for <br />purposes of qualification for health care benefits under the federal Patient <br />Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Act) as amended, the definition of <br />full time employee shall be the equivalent of that which is provided in the Act, <br />and this section shall not be construed to be in conflict with the Act. <br />(h) Definition of Part -Time Employee. Part-time employees are those <br />employees who are not assigned to a full -time status as defined by the City <br />including those who qualify for health care benefits under the Patient <br />Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, but who do not meet the City's <br />definition of full -time under the above and previous subsection (f), and who <br />are scheduled to work less than the City of South Bend's full -time schedule. <br />While they do receive certain mandated benefits (such as worker's <br />compensation and social security benefits, and for some, health care under <br />the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), they are not eligible for other <br />City benefit programs. <br />Section III.
