The American Medical Association’s Guidelines for the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (“Impairment Guide”) shall be used to determine the percentage of disability suffered by the participant. The retirement board may accept documentation presented from the participant’s physician, provided it complies with the criteria set forth in the Impairment Guide and further provided that the physician certifies that he or she is familiar with the duties and functions of the participant and that the participant is expected to be unable to perform certain material functions of his or her service to the City of Anniston as a sworn police officer or sworn firefighter. The retirement board shall have the authority to issue such subpoenas to compel the production of such records or the attendance of such witnesses to assist it in its determination and adopt such rules and regulations as it deems necessary to provide for procedures which shall be followed by the retirement board and by a participant applying for or receiving disability benefits. In no event, however, shall a participant’s application for disability benefits remain pending before the retirement board for a period in excess of six months, except with the express written consent of the participant.

(3) The participant shall be entitled to notice and to be present at all hearings of the evidence related to his or her application for disability benefits or any hearing relating to the continuation of his or her disability benefits.

(5) If the retirement board determines that the participant is no longer disabled to the degree previously approved, the retirement board shall order that the disability benefits to the participant from the trust shall be adjusted or discontinued, whichever is applicable.

(6) Workers’ Compensation. For purposes of computing the average of the monthly compensation of a participant, the average of the monthly compensation of the participant shall not be decreased during any portion of the three-year period preceding his or her retirement by virtue of being placed on workers’ compensation for any portion of the income shall be calculated as if he or she was receiving the monthly compensation which would have otherwise been paid to him or her during the period that he or she was paid workers’ compensation benefits notwithstanding the decrease in the contributions made for the participant or by the participant into the trust during the time that the workers’ compensation benefits are paid. Workers’ compensation means benefits paid to a participant under any workers’ compensation law of the State of Alabama for any injury or disability suffered by such participant while working for the City of Anniston on the job or position by reason of which he or she is a participant.

Any employee who has been in the service of the city for as long as 20 years, the last four years of which, counting a major fraction of a year as a full year, have been continuous, and whose employment has been terminated prior to his or her making application for retirement from service as an employee of the city shall be entitled to make application for retirement as an employee without medical examination or disability as if he or she were yet an employee of the city provided such application is made in writing to the city council of the city within 60 days from the date his or her employment was terminated, and be entitled to the benefits accorded by this part; provided, that in the event that the employee had withdrawn any of his or her contributions at the end of any prior period or periods of employment such contributions shall be repaid by him or her, including interest at the rate of four percent per annum, prior to the commencement of any benefits due him or her under the plan which are based on the inclusion of the prior period or periods of service.

(b) In the event of the discharge, without just cause, of any permanent employee, who has served as many as 10 continuous years, such person shall, upon reaching the age of 55 be entitled to and receive from the fund an annual pension, payable in monthly installments, equal to two and one-half percent of his or her annual compensation at the time of his or her discharge, or two and one-half percent of the average annual compensation of such employee over the then past four calendar years, whichever shall be the greater for each year or major fraction thereof that the employee shall have served at the time of dismissal.

(c) Upon retirement in the manner provided for by this part, the City Council of the City of Prichard shall direct the payment to such retiring person monthly from the fund a sum equal to the compensation or salary received by such retiring person as salary in the service or employment of the city at the time of his or her retirement or termination or the average compensation of such employee over the past four calendar years, whichever is greater, multiplied by the percentage applicable from the table below:

The actuarially equivalent pension shall reflect the lost interest due to the earlier commencement of the pension payments and the longer life expectancy of the employee at his or her earlier age, and shall be determined by the actuary employed by the City Council of the City of Prichard using in his or her calculations the interest and mortality assumptions employed by him or her in his or her most recent valuation of the liabilities under the fund as of the date of any such election by an employee.

(e) It is provided, however, that the word consecutive as used in the foregoing section shall not be construed to the effect that any employee of the city, otherwise entitled to participate in the municipal employees pension and relief fund shall be penalized or shall have taken from him or her any length of service with the city by reason of him or her having obtained a leave of absence or otherwise been temporarily out of the employ of the city, and such leave of absence or other non-employment of the employee shall be approved by the city council of the city.
