A. A regular borough employee who is a member of a reserve component of the United States Armed Forces or the National Guard is entitled to a military leave of absence without loss of pay, time, or performance rating on all days during which the person is ordered to attend training duty (as distinguished from active duty), field exercises, or instruction. The military leave of absence may not exceed 16 and one-half working days in one calendar year.

B. A position made vacant by a military leave of absence of less than six months shall be filled only by temporary appointment. If the military leave of absence is for a period of six months or more, it may be filled by a substitute regular appointment.

C. The employee shall turn over to the borough for deposit all moneys received from the reserve component as compensation for service, up to the amount of the employee’s regular gross salary for the same period, and in turn shall be paid the employee’s current salary while on reserve military duty.
