§ 3130. Reservists

The Superintendent may contract any veteran of the Police who has been pensioned due to mandated retirement because of age or years of service, under the pension or retirement system created by virtue of the laws of Puerto Rico, to work in the Police Force as a reservist after the Superintendent has verified that his/her physical and mental condition will allow him/her to perform his/her duties subject to the regulations established by the former and without impairing the pension which said pensioner receives according to the provisions of law.

The Superintendent, at his/her discretion, shall [set] the hourly schedule and the compensation of the reservists, which shall not exceed a fulltime schedule of eight (8) hours nor the maximum salary corresponding to a fulltime employee performing the same duties.

Reservists contracted by virtue of the provisions of this section shall also receive the pension to which they are entitled under §§ 761 et seq. of Title 3, or under any other pension or retirement system created by virtue of laws of Puerto Rico. To such effects, contracted reservists are exempted from complying with §§ 792 and 826 of Title 3. The contract of said reservists shall not impair any vested benefit or right enjoyed as a police pensioner.

The time those persons contracted pursuant to this section have worked as reservists shall not be computed for the purposes of their retirement, nor shall any withholding whatsoever be made on that account.
