(A) Any permanent municipal employee who is inducted into the armed forces of the United States for training or service, shall be granted a leave of absence without pay for the duration of such time required for such purposes, and for a period of 90 calendar days following the period of actual service. Upon termination of such service, the employee shall have the right to return to his or her position within said 90 days, provided the position still exists and the employee is still otherwise qualified. Vacancies resulting from leaves granted under this section shall be filled only on a temporary basis. One voluntary enlistment shall be considered the same as induction for the purpose of this section, but re-enlistment shall not.
(B) Permanent employees who are members of regular reserve components of the armed forces or the National Guard may be granted two weeks leave each year for active duty training. Upon presentation of the proper evidence, the difference in pay between the employees’ regular pay and the military pay will be allowed.
