Any full-time employee who is a member of the National Guard or a military reservist who is called to active military duty, in addition to the rights guaranteed by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA, Pub. L. 103-353) being 38 U.S.C. §§ 4301 - 4335), will also be entitled to receive compensation during his or her active duty status in an amount equal to a difference between his or her current pay or salary at the time of deployment and his or her salary received from the military while on active duty.
(A) CURRENT SALARY is defined to be the base salary established by the city’s salary ordinance and any subsequent order/resolutions changing the salary in effect on the employee’s beginning date of active military duty. The base salary does not include overtime or any other salary benefit.
(B) The city will compensate the employee while the employee is on active military duty at the difference between the employee’s salary and the compensation received by the employee from his or her military employer. The city will pay the difference only if the city salary is less than the military salary.
(C) It is the responsibility of the employee on active duty to provide written verification of his or her military earnings by submitting copies of pay vouchers or other similar evidence to the Finance Department before salary differential payments are made.
