 19 service for purposes of calculating the ordinary disability retirement

 21 pension fund as provided in subdivision c-1 of this section. For the
 22 purpose of this subdivision, continuous public service shall mean
 23 service during a period in which an employee was not off the payroll of
 24 a public employer for more than thirty days.
