Military leave shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of state law. All employees entitled to military leave shall give the appointing authority an opportunity, within the limits of military regulations, to determine when such leave shall be taken.

(Ord. 97-4 §1(part), 1997).

A. The city manager, in his or her discretion, may grant a regular or probationary employee leave of absence without pay or seniority for not to exceed three months. After three months, the leave of absence may be extended. No such leave shall be granted except upon written request of the employee, setting forth the reason for the request. Upon expiration of a regularly approved leave or within a reasonable period of time after notice to return to duty, the employee shall be reinstated in the position held at the time leave was taken. Failure on the part of an employee on leave to report promptly at its expiration, or within a reasonable time after notice to return to duty, shall cause the employee to be deemed to be discharged. The depositing in the United States mail of a first-class letter, postage prepaid, addressed to the employee's last known address, shall constitute reasonable notice.

B. Department directors may grant a regular or probationary employee leave of absence without pay for not to exceed one calendar week. Such leaves shall be reported to the personnel director.

(Ord. 97-4 §1(part), 1997).

The city manager may place an employee on relief of duty with full pay and benefits for an indeterminate period when circumstances exist such that the public interest requires that the employee be relieved from active duty. Such relief of duty shall not constitute punitive or disciplinary action. During the period of relief of duty, the employee may be required to regularly report to the department director or designee in a manner described in writing by the department director to the employee.

(Ord. 97-4 §1(part), 1997).

Every full-time, regular employee called or required to serve as a trial juror, upon notification and appropriate verification submitted to his or her supervisor, shall be entitled to be absent from duty during the period of such service or while necessarily being present in court as a result of such call. The employee shall receive normal pay during the period of jury duty, and shall turn over all pay received for jury duty to the city for the times that the employee was required to miss work.
