Length of Service

the time spent by a worker at his job or performing some other activity beneficial to society. According to Soviet law, the length of service is the basis underlying the right to pensions and vacations. (The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd Edition (1970-1979))

Continuous length of service is the amount of continuous work performed by an industrial or nonindustrial worker or employee at a single enterprise, establishment, or organization and, for kolkhoz members, at the same kolkhoz. The length of continuous service is taken into account in determining the amount of benefits granted for temporary disability and pension supplements granted to industrial and nonindustrial workers and employees. (The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd Edition (1970-1979))

The importance of the force majeure clause in a contract, particularly one of any length in time, cannot be overstated as it relieves a party from an obligation under the contract (or suspends that obligation). (Wikipedia)
