The trustees may require a member to provide proof of employment, service in the armed forces, base compensation and such other matters as the trustees deem relevant with respect to any credit to be made or purchased hereunder. The decision of the trustees as to such matters shall be final and binding.
B. The board of trustees may adopt rules and procedures for the crediting and purchase of service hereunder, not inconsistent with the provisions of this division.

The trustees shall adopt equivalences to be applied with respect to the purchase of service not inconsistent with the provisions of this division, but in no case shall more than one year of service be credited for all service rendered within a single calendar year; there shall be no duplication of creditable service for any period of service, including military service.
D. In no event shall the trustees allow the purchase of creditable service hereunder for any period of more than one year during which an employee is absent continuously without pay, except for leave to perform service in the armed forces.
E. If a member who has separated from service and received a refund of his member account is later reemployed, he shall be permitted to purchase creditable service for such prior period of employment, provided he is then an active member.
F. Periods of creditable service for eligible part-time employment shall be prorated.
