Employees who leave the service of the city for any reason shall receive all pay which may be due them with the following qualifications.
(A) Employees shall be paid for all unused accrued vacations provided that the department head is notified by the employee of his or her leaving two weeks in advance or sufficient reason is given in the absence of such notice.
(B) An employee who owes any money to the city at the time of his or her separation shall have his or her final pay applied against the account of whatever amount may be needed to satisfy it and shall be given a receipt for the amount credited.
