less all per diem allowances and any other compensation received for such duty. All fees paid to the employee for such appearances, except reimbursement for parking, mileage, and meal allowance, if any, must be remitted to the City. Time spent on jury duty shall not be counted as time worked in computing overtime. The employee must notify the employee's immediate supervisor and complete a "Request for Leave" form, copy attached, within 48 hours of receiving the call for court services. Employees excused or released from jury duty during their regular working hours must report to their supervisor immediately thereafter. When a City employee is subpoenaed to appear in court on a case to which the City is not a party, the City will pay the employee's regular pay, less the amount of witness pay the employee receives from the court, for a period up to ten (10) working days. Military Leave Active Duty Leave State and federal laws provide protections and benefits to City employees who are called to military service, whether in the reserves or on active duty. Such employees are entitled to a leave of absence without loss of pay, seniority status, efficiency rating, or benefits for the time the employee is engaged in training or active service not exceeding a total of fifteen (15) days in any calendar year. The leave of absence is only in the event the employee returns to employment with the City as required upon being relieved from service, or is prevented from returning by physical or mental disability or other cause not the fault of the employee, or is required by the proper authority to continue in military or naval service beyond the fifteen (15) day paid leave of absence. Employees on extended unpaid military leave will receive fifteen (15) days paid leave of absence in each calendar year, not to exceed five years. Where possible, notice is to be provided to the City at least ten (10) working days in advance of the requested leave by completing a "Request for Leave" form, copy attached. If an employee has not yet used his/her fifteen (15) days of paid leave when called to active duty, any unused paid time will be allowed for the active duty time, prior to the unpaid leave of absence. Employees returning from military service will be reemployed in the job that they would have attained had they not been absent for military service and with the same seniority, status and pay, as well as other rights and benefits determined by seniority. Unpaid military leave will be considered hours worked for the purpose of vacation leave and sick leave accruals. Eligibility for continuation of insurance coverage for employees on military leave beyond fifteen (15) days will follow the same procedures as for any employee on an unpaid leave of absence.
