(A) In order to be eligible for the supplementary benefit provided in this chapter, the individual must be a fill-time employee of the city. Non-full time employees of the city, including but not limited to, part-time, temporary, or seasonal employees, are not eligible for supplementary benefits under this chapter.
(B) In order to be eligible for supplementary benefits as provided in this chapter, a member must have received mobilization orders to report for active duty as a result of a mobilization ordered by the Governor or the President of the United States. Entitlement to supplementary benefits under this chapter shall commence when the member has exhausted a period of 15 consecutive or non-consecutive days in any calendar year for military training, as provided in IC 10-2-4-3, as a result of the mobilization. In the event the members’ period of active duty extends into a succeeding calendar year, supplementary benefits under this chapter shall cease until such time as the member has exhausted a similar period of 15 calendar days of military training as provided in IC 10-2-4-3 for such succeeding calendar year, at which time benefits under this chapter shall recommence.
(C) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as having any effect on the members’ entitlement to accrued vacation days, it being the intent of the Common Council that exhaustion of vacation days will not be required as a precondition to entitlement to the benefit herein provided. A members’ vacation days shall continue to accrue until the members’ demobilization.
