“Final compensation” means the average annual compensation earnable by a member during any three years elected by a member at or before the time he files an application for retirement, or, if he fails to elect, during the three years immediately preceding his retirement. If a member has less than three years of service, his final compensation shall be determined by dividing his total compensation by the number of months of service credited to him and multiplying by 12.
