Marysville Municipal Code Art. 5 Military Leave

Any permanent employee who joins the military forces of the United States during time of war or other national emergency may be placed on military leave without pay in accordance with conditions set forth in state law.

(a) Leave under this Section shall extend through a date not to exceed thirty (30) days after the employee is relieved from military service.

(b) An employee hereunder shall be entitled to be restored to the position which he vacated, provided application is made to the City Manager within thirty (30) days of the date of his discharge under honorable conditions, and he is physically and mentally capable of performing the work of the position.

(c) In the event a position vacated by a person entering the military service no longer exists at the time he qualifies to return to work, such person shall be entitled to be reemployed in another position of the same status, class and pay in the city service, provided such reemployment does not necessitate the laying off of another permanent employee.

Permanent and probationary employees who are commissioned reserve officers or reserve enlisted personnel in the United States military or Naval service or members of the National Guard will be allowed leave of absence with pay from their respective duties without deduction from any available leave balances, on all days during which they are engaged in training ordered under the provisions of United States military or Naval training regulations for such personnel when assigned to active or inactive duty for a period not to exceed seventeen (17) working days, or such longer period as may be declared by valid executive order of the governor, in any one annual period.

(a) An employee taking leave hereunder shall be required to submit an order or statement from the appropriate military commander as evidence of required duty, which order or statement must accompany the formal request for military leave.

(b) Leave hereunder shall not be charged to annual leave, but shall be charged against military leave.

(c) Permanent and probationary employees who are members of the United States Military Reserve or California National Guard and who are ordered to report for active military service, in accordance with the provisions of state law shall receive their full salary for the first thirty (30) days of such service, and are entitled to unlimited unpaid leave and reinstatement to their former positions or to a position of similar seniority status and pay without loss of retirement or other benefits, unless the City's circumstances have so changed as to make reinstatement impossible or unreasonable.

(d) Permanent and probationary employees who are members of the California National Guard and who are ordered to state active duty in accordance with the provisions of state law shall receive their full salaries for the seventeen (17) days of such duty, and shall thereafter receive pay in an amount necessary to bring their total salaries, inclusive of base military pay, to the levels earn-ed at the time they were called to active duty.

(e) The city will continue to provide insurance benefits to all employees enrolled in a city-sponsored insurance program, and to their covered dependents, during authorized periods of leave under this Section.
