by three months for the purpose of computing the employee's retirement
allowance.
(2) For each additional twenty days or major fraction
thereof of unused sick leave in excess of sixty days that the employee has to
the employee's credit the employee shall have the employee's years of service
increased by one month for the purpose of computing the employee's retirement
allowance.
