No employee shall be granted a leave of absence for the purpose of entering employment for another employer or becoming self-employed. If a leave of absence is falsely obtained and the employee is found to be employed by another employer or to be self-employed while on leave, the employee shall be given the opportunity to resign from service with the City. If the employee fails or refuses to resign, then he may be discharged provided that the discharge will be subject to review under the grievance procedure provided herein.
An employee who is called into military service shall be placed on an approved leave of absence during the period of time that he is required to serve. Upon discharge, the employee shall have ninety (90) calendar days to report back to the City to be reassigned in accordance with the law. The employee shall accrue seniority while on such leave as provided in Section 2109.26 (Seniority During Military Service) herein.
A female Command Officer will be eligible for maternity leave for that period of time that she is physically incapable of performing her regular work related duties. The Command Officer will be required to document her physical ability in a Statement of Attending Physician forwarded to the City within seven (7) calendar days after becoming aware of the fact that she is pregnant, but not later than ninety (90) days after conception.
Application for such leave will be made on the approved form. The Command Officer in the event of extended disability resulting from pregnancy or childbirth shall be entitled to use her accumulated sick time bonus days and vacation days, and then may submit a request to the Director of Human Resources for extended sick benefits. The employee's prior work record with regard to her usage of sick days and her seniority will be taken into account in determining eligibility for such extension. In the event the requested extension is denied, then the employee may be placed on leave of absence as provided in Section 2109.42 (Sick or Injury Leave).
The Command Officer may request additional release time prior and/or subsequent to the above stated period of disability. Such request shall be made as provided elsewhere in this Agreement.
