§ 34.16 WAGES AND BENEFITS.
   (A)   Each covered employee shall be allowed to opt to receive compensation at his or her current rate of pay for all unused leave days available on his or her last day of active employment with the city before reporting for active duty.
   (B)   Following the paid leave in division (A) above, each covered employee shall receive a regular scheduled paycheck from the city in an amount equal to the difference between his or her current gross city wage and his or her gross military wage (including all entitlements) for active duty. It is the employee's responsibility to inform the Human Resources and the Clerk-Treasurer's office if the gross military wage is less than the employee's gross city wage. In no event shall the total of gross military pay for active duty and gross city wages (including any amount paid under division (A) above), exceed in any calendar year the total gross wages that would have been earned by the covered employee in his or her city position had he or she not been called to active duty. Reconciliation of the amounts owed to or by the city shall occur as needed following the employee's return to active city employment.
   (C)   For purposes of computing the covered employee's gross city wages, each covered employee shall receive that annual increase he or she would have received had he or she not been called to active duty.
   (D)   Leave days will not accrue during such time the covered employee is on active duty.
   (E)   Time on the job and seniority will accrue during such time that the covered employee is on active duty.
