181.07 SHORT TERM MILITARY LEAVE.
Each permanent employee of the City, who either is or who hereafter becomes a member of the Ohio National Guard, the Ohio Defense Corps, the Ohio Naval Militia or a reserve component of the armed forces of the United States and who is ordered to active service for purposes of training or duty in an emergency shall be granted a leave of absence not to exceed thirty-one work days in any one calendar year.
Such leave shall be granted upon presentation by the employee to his/her appointing authority a copy of the military orders effecting call to active service.
In those instances where the gross military pay, excluding compensation for travel, food, lodging, as earned by the employee while on military duty is less than the pay he/she would have received as a City employee for the same period of time, the employee will be eligible to receive payment from the City equal to the difference between the gross military and civilian pay as shown in the Classification and Compensation Plan. Military gross pay will be computed from the first to the last calendar day inclusive of such active duty service. The gross pay adjustment will be made upon the employee's return to City employment with the submission of his/her military pay voucher to the Director of Finance and will be subject to deductions required by law or authorized by the employee.
The employee's length of service standing and fringe benefit eligibility will not be adversely affected by military leave. Such leave time will not be charged to accrued vacation credits. Holidays occurring during a military leave of absence will be provided the employee upon return to duty as a day observed in lieu of the actual holiday. Sick leave credits shall continue to accumulate during the military leave of absence for training or emergency duty.
Required leave for military training and/or duty in an emergency in excess of thirty-one work days in any calendar year may be charged to accrued vacation, holiday or compensatory time credits.
Payments made in excess of allowances provided for in this section shall be subject to recovery. (Ord. 7875. Passed 7-10-74.)
