Upon return from military leave of absence, a regular employee shall be reinstated to the employee's former position or to a position of like status and pay, provided that the employee is competent to perform all duties of the position to which assigned. If the position held by the employee no longer exists, the employee shall be reinstated to a position of like status and pay, provided it is practicable and the employee is competent to perform all duties of the position. 6.9 Time off to Vote Employees who are eligible to vote in an election have the right to be absent from work for the time necessary to appear at the employee's polling place, cast a ballot, and return to work on the day of that election without penalty or a wage deduction. 6.10 Jury Duty Regular full-time called to serve as a juror, or subpoenaed as a court witness, shall receive their regular pay as if they were working. Any compensation the employee may receive as a result of jury duty or a witness fee, excluding mileage reimbursement if provided by the court, shall be turned over to the City. Employees are expected to report to work when they are released from court during regular office hours when practicable, and to make every effort to complete the work assigned to them during the time they are serving as jurors or witnesses. 6.11 Serving as an Election Judge An employee who has been selected to be an election judge may be absent from work without penalty while serving as an election judge. In addition to a 20-day written notice, the employee will also submit a certification from the appointing authority stating the hourly compensation to be paid the employee for service as an election judge and the hours during which the employee will serve. The City will pay the difference between the employee's regular hourly rate of pay for an eight -hour shift and the pay received for serving as an election judge. The employee may retain mileage expenses, if applicable. The city may restrict the number of employees who are absent from work to no more than 20 percent of the total work force at any single work site. Employees should check the "other allowable leave" portion of the Authorization for Time Off card, and write in "election judge." 24
