Service requirements for advancement within the compensation schedule and for other purposes as specified in this chapter, shall have the implication of continuous service, which means employment in the City service without break or interruption. Leaves of absence with pay and leaves of absence without pay of less than 30 days, shall not interrupt continuous service and shall not be deducted from the total service time. Absences on leave without pay in excess of 30 days, except for extended service with the armed forces of the United States shall be deducted in computing total service but shall not serve to interrupt continuous service. In case of repeated one day absence without leave, the City Manager may consider the service of the employee interrupted and shall have the record of the employee show the same.
