Minnesota Statutes Retirement (Ch. 352-356B) § 354.093. Parental leave

Upon granting a parental leave for the birth or adoption of a child, the employing unit granting the leave must certify the leave to the association on a form specified by the executive director. A member of the association granted parental leave of absence by the employing unit is entitled to service credit not to exceed one year for the period of leave upon payment undersection 354.72. Notwithstanding the provisions of any agreements to the contrary, the contributions specified in this section may not be made to receive allowable service credit under this section if the member does not retain the right to full reinstatement at the end of the leave.
