past service
Definition
Period of employment prior to an employee's participation in a pension plan, which may exclude the employee from benefits which existed prior to participation. These benefits can be purchased either by cash or through a retirement plan roll-over in order to retroactively add years of service into the final calculation of the retirement pension.
