<br />9. Military Leave <br /> <br />Military leave may be either military training leave or military duty leave (active <br />duty). Military training leave shall be leave with pay. Active duty shall be leave <br />without pay. <br />An employee of the City and who is a member of the state military forces or a <br />reserve component of the armed forces is entitled to leave absence from their <br />duties on a day on which the person is engaged in authorized training or duty <br />ordered or authorized by proper authority. During a leave of absence, the <br />employee may not be subjected to loss of time, efficiency rating, vacation time, or <br />salary. Leaves of absence under this paragraph may not exceed 15 days in a <br />federal fiscal year. (Texas Government Code, Section 431.005) <br /> <br />Regular employees who present official induction orders (draftee or reserve unit <br />call up) to enter the United States Armed Forces, the Texas National Guard, or <br />the Texas State Guard will be eligible for military duty leave without pay. At the <br />time of military discharge, the employee shall be reinstated at a position <br />comparable to what the employee would have attained had he not been on active <br />duty. This shall include any promotions and/or pay raises for which the <br />employee would have been eligible had the employee been at work instead of <br />active duty.
