Before I became an employee I worked as a contractor for Chevron. That time counted towards my years of service. If I return as a contractor will that time be counted towards my years of service?

OP, the short answer is NO.
@3xra: "...the old deadwood who have been approached about returning have been offered continuation of service..." I believe this is a government requirement for "returning" employees. Realistically, this isn't much of a boost. They've already maxxed out social security, and a year or two more on top of a, say, 20 year pension is not that much. If these people are 65-ish and on Medicare and taking social security, it's actually a financial mess. The people who would benefit are the 55-ish people who aren't retirement-ready.
Not likely unless you arranged it prior to coming back. Unless you were told so, contractor-to-full-time is a lot less likely now than it used to be.
Assume that contrator has no continuation of service. That said seems that all of the old deadwood who have been approached about returning have been offered continuation of service as part of the welcome back package.
It all depends on what you negotiated. Anything is possible, but nothing will happen if you don't ask for it. The more your perceived value to the company, the more you'll get.
"....any rehired person will be considered a “new” employee": This is nonsense. I was rehired and the benefits started back up as if there had never been a gap. Re-employment and contract work will be different things however.
After a certain amount of time away from Chevron, any rehired person will be considered a “new” employee. No past experience or time worked at Chevron will be benefits bearing. As for contractors who left or were terminated, and then were hired again, no past work will be considered toward benefits if later they become an employee. Only the uninterrupted time they had on the job before becoming a full time employee may be considered.
Since you are joining as a contractor, you may get promoted to a contract CEO immediately because of your extraordinary service time.
Please take your d-mb a-s question to another company as a retired has-been contractor.
No….
Your question doesn't make sense. You already retired from the company - what years of service are you asking about - are you hoping to get rehired back as an employee in the future for the 2nd time.
years of service for a contractor is irrelevant
I don't know, but you should check the layoff's site. They are the core highly valued employees at CVX, the ones who are about to be laid off. That's a good place to find out about the company, from the losers.
Why would you have years of service being a contractor ? You only make a day rate .
