In the event any member of the Fire Department or Police Department after the completion of the member’s initial year of service, is granted a military leave under the provisions of the Military and Veterans Code of the State of California, other than a temporary military leave, cash payment of a sum equal to all accrued but unused vacation, including vacation time accrued during the proportionate part of the year in which such leave is granted, may be made to such member at the salary rate current at the date of the commencement of such leave. Before any payment as herein provided is made, such member shall furnish to the member’s appointing authority two (2) certified copies of the member’s orders, one to be filed in the department in which the member is employed and the other with the Controller, or in lieu thereof, the member shall furnish to such appointing authority upon forms provided by the Controller certified evidence of the member’s entry into active service in the armed forces of the United States and the date thereof; provided, however, that presentation of the proof required under Section 4.175 may be deemed proof under this section for the same military leave. 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 member into active service in such armed forces.
