(a) All City employees who are members of the Ohio National Guard or any other reserve components of the Armed Forces of the United States shall be entitled to leave of absence from their respective duties for such time as they are in such military service on field training or active duty for training for periods not to exceed thirty-one days in any calendar year.
(b) If a City employee's military pay during such period of leave of absence is less than his City pay would be for such period of time, then he shall be paid by the City the difference in money between the City pay and his military pay for such period. In determining such employee's military pay for the purposes of this section, allowances for travel, food or housing shall not be considered.
(c) The provisions of this section shall be effective retroactively to May 1, 1978.
