years of service

Time on job

Years of service is the total time someone has worked for an organization, used to calculate benefits, seniority, and retirement eligibility.

The phrase appears in employment contexts where tenure matters: After twenty years of service, she received a gold watch.

Military and civil service systems weight years of service heavily in determining pay grades and pensions.
