The retirement of a member for ordinary or industrial disability shall be effective on the date when the application for his or her retirement is approved by the retirement system manager or the commission, but in the event that the member is not receiving regular compensation on the day preceding the date when the application is approved, the effective date shall be the date upon which the application was filed with the retirement system manager or on the date for which he or she is last paid regular compensation by the city, whichever date last occurs.
As used in this section, the term "regular compensation" means salary paid for performance of duty, sick leave pay which the member receives in periodic payments, salary paid while the member is on regular vacation, and salary paid while the member is on leave of absence pursuant to former (1976) Charter Section 167. The term shall not include lump sum payments made for unused vacation, sick leave or the like. (Prior code § 34.13.1308)
