(A) Years of service and years of active service shall mean years of full-time service, including a full-time appointment to the position as a police officer or firefighter, for which retirement contributions are deducted from "salary," as such term is defined in section 742.01 of the Revised Code and rule 742-3-02 of the Administrative Code and forwarded to OP& F.

(B) For purposes of determining "full-time service," OP& F may request the employer and the member to certify the full-time service, but, in any event, OP& F will determine that the contributing credit was for full-time service.
