Jury duty leave is paid at the employee's base rate at the time of leave and does not include <br />overtime or any other special forms of compensation. <br />7.15 Military Leave <br />The City complies with all state and federal laws relating to employees in reserve or active <br />military service and does not discriminate against employees who serve in the military. <br />Temporary employees who have brief or non -recurrent positions with the City and who have no <br />reasonable expectation that their employment with the City will continue indefinitely or for a <br />significant period of time are generally ineligible for extended paid military leave in excess of 15 <br />days, reemployment rights, or any other military leave benefits under this policy. <br />This policy covers employees who serve in the uniformed services in a voluntary or involuntary <br />basis, including active duty, active duty for training, initial active duty for training, inactive duty <br />training, and full-time National Guard duty. <br />Notice to City of Need for Leave <br />Employees must provide as much advance written or verbal notice to the City as possible for all <br />military duty (unless giving notice is impossible, unreasonable, or precluded by military <br />necessity). Absent unusual circumstances, such notice must be given to the City no later than <br />48 hours after the employee receives the military orders. An employee should provide notice as <br />far in advance as is reasonable under the circumstances. To be eligible for paid military leave, <br />employees must complete and submit the official documents setting forth the purpose of the <br />leave, and if known, its duration. <br />Military leave may be either military training leave or military duty leave (active duty). Military <br />training leave shall be leave with pay. Active duty shall be leave without pay. An employee of <br />the City and who is a member of the state military forces or a reserve component of the armed <br />forces is entitled to leave absence from their duties on a day on which the person is engaged in <br />authorized training or duty ordered or authorized by proper authority. During a leave of <br />absence, the 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 federal fiscal <br />year. (Texas Government Code, Section 431.005) <br />Regular employees who present official induction orders (draftee or reserve unit call up) to enter <br />the United States Armed Forces, the Texas National Guard, or the Texas State Guard will be <br />eligible for military duty leave without pay. At the time of military discharge, the employee shall <br />be reinstated at a position comparable to what the employee would have attained had he not <br />been on active 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 active duty. (Per <br />Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act 38 U.S.C. 2021 et. Seq) <br />Benefits <br />The City will continue to provide employees on paid military leave with most City benefits at the <br />employee's cost. <br />Medical and Dental — While an employee is on paid military leave (or any military leave of <br />less than 31 days), the City will continue to pay its portion of the monthly premium for group <br />health benefits. <br />47 <br />
