An employee who is inducted into or enlists in the Armed Forces of the United States, or who performs active or inactive duty with the Armed Forces while a member of a reserve component, will be granted a military leave of absence. An employee whose period of active service exceeds two weeks will not receive his salary during military leave. A reservist employee who is granted a leave of absence not exceeding two weeks to perform active duty for training will receive the employee’ s regular salary for the period of active duty less the amount of the employee’ s military pay, provided he has completed one year of service with the city. Such military leave not exceeding two weeks will be granted in addition to the employee’ s regular vacation, and, if the employee elects to take the employee’ s vacation and military leave of absence at the same time, he will receive the employee’ s vacation pay, and if eligible, the employee’ s regular salary less the amount of the military pay.

    A member of the National Guard will also be paid when ordered to active duty for a period not exceeding two weeks. Likewise, such call-ups will not be charged against the employee’ s vacation leave.

    A copy of orders shall be submitted to the personnel committee prior to departure and a verification of duty from the employee’ s commanding officer upon the employee’ s return. (Ord. 1121 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 10-16-2)
