(1) For the first year of service under this paragraph, service credit may be earned only from the date of beginning work to the end of the year;

(2) During the calendar year 1942, the maximum amount of prior service credit that may be earned for work as a state employee is 1/2 year; and

(3) Prior service credit for work as a state employee must be calculated on the basis of calendar years and for work as a teacher on the basis of school years.
