(a) Every employee of the City who qualifies for and is granted a military leave, whether temporary or otherwise, pursuant to the provisions of the Military and Veterans Code of the State of California, shall, before the employee is paid the employee’s salary or compensation during such leave, or any part thereof, as provided in said Code, furnish to the employee’s appointing authority two certified copies of the employee’s orders, one (1) copy to be filed in the department in which the employee is employed and the other with the Controller, or in lieu thereof, the employee shall furnish to such appointing authority upon forms provided by the Controller certified evidence of the employee’s entry into active service in the armed forces of the United States and the date thereof. Any certification required by this section may be made by any commissioned officer of such armed forces. The Controller shall have power at any time to require such additional evidence as is satisfactory to the Controller of the entry of such employee into active service in such armed forces and of the actual performance by the employee of ordered military duty during all or any part of such leave.
(b) In determining whether an employee has been in the service of the City for a period of not less than one year immediately prior to the date on which the absence begins, continuous service as that term is defined in Section 4.42(t) of this Code shall be required, provided, however, that service in any department having control of the employee’s own funds shall be counted in making such determination.
