All employees in the Department of Police shall be entitled to fifteen (15) holidays per year. Each employee shall have the option of having up to fifteen (15) days off scheduled during the year or of having a lesser number of days off and receive pay for the difference between the number of scheduled days off and the fifteen (15) holidays to which he is entitled up to a maximum of fourteen (14) days for which he may be entitled to receive pay. In the event the employee elects to take days off, they are to be sched uled in a way as not to impair the operation of the shift or bureau. If the employee has elected to work up to fourteen (14) of these extra days in lieu of days off, then he shall be compensated at his regular straight time rate for having worked on those days. He shall be paid a bonus of ten (10) hours for each of the extra days scheduled.
The employee who elects to take the bonus payment in lieu of the extra scheduled days off shall receive up to one hundred forty (140) hours bonus pay to be distributed to him at the time he takes his regular vacation. The hours shall be payable at the rate of pay the employee earns for his vacation period.

In the event of the death of the Command Officer's father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, or child, the Command Officer, upon giving notice, shall have the right to take up to an additional three (3) days of sick pay.

When a special filial relationship exists between the Command Officer and any relative for whom the Command Officer would normally be granted one (1) day of funeral pay, three (3) days funeral pay will be granted when the Command Officer furnishes the Director of Human Resources an affidavit proving the existence of a special filial relationship. A filial relationship is defined as being one in which the Command Officer bears or assumes a relationship with another individual similar to that of a child, off-spring, or parent.
The relationships of aunt, uncle, first cousin, niece or nephew shall not be considered to come into existence on account of the marriage of a Command Officer.

When an employee is called for short term military leave, it shall be defined as an active military duty assignment issued by the President of the United States, an act of Congress, or as a state of emergency as ordered by the Governor of the State of Ohio (excluding voluntary duty) for a period of less than twenty-three (23) days (either continuous or interrupted) or 176 hours in any calendar year or military assignment. When an employee is called to active duty with their assigned military unit (excluding voluntary duty) they are entitled to a leave of absence from their respective City position without loss of pay for the time they are performing service in uniform services. They shall receive one month (22 days or 176 hours) per calendar year of City paid military leave. While on military leave, the City shall continue all employer benefit coverage including: vacation and sick leave accrual allowance, lump sum and stipend payments, pension contributions and spouse and dependent health care coverage. An employee shall qualify for short term military leave coverage even if the leave is not for a one month continuous military assignment. An employee shall be entitled to all pay (both City and military) received during their short term military assignment. Long term military leave shall be defined as a military duty assignment that exceeds twenty-two (22) days (either continuous or with interruption) or where a short term military leave assignment extends beyond the twenty-two (22) days. When an employee's military duty exceeds the short term leave period specified above because they have been called to active duty as a result of an executive order issued by the President of the United States, an act of Congress, or a state of emergency as ordered by the Governor of the State of Ohio, they shall be paid the difference between his/her regular rate of pay they would have received pursuant to the contract, and the base pay they received from the military, for such a period. The City shall continue all employment benefits coverage for said employees during this period, to include: vacation and sick leave accrual; allowance, lump sum and stipend payments; pension contributions; and spouse and dependent health care coverage. This provision is intended to provide all employees, called to active duty as described, with the same amount of pay and benefits they would have received had the need for military service not arisen. Payments and benefits shall be made to employees from the date of absence as a result of active military duty until they return to City employment and payroll.
The employee upon submitting their military training schedule for the following year shall be granted the right to use their vacation time and/or trades with themselves to cover their training absences.
