bationary or temporary employees are to be laid off, no notice of layoff need be
given.
12.2 Layoff in all cases due to lack of work will be determined by an

former position, except that if there has been a reduction of forces or the
employee's his position has been eliminated during said leave, the employee he
will be returned to the position the employee he would be in, had the employee he
not been on a leave of absence.
13.4 An employee's status as a regular employee will not be impaired by
such leave of absence and the employee's his seniority will accrue.
13.5 If an employee fails to return immediately on the expiration of the
employee's his leave of absence or if the employee he accepts other full-time
employment while on leave, the employee he will thereby forfeit the leave of
absence and terminate the employee's his employment with the City.
13.6 An employee on a leave of absence as provided herein shall not accrue
vacation or sick leave benefits nor maintain group insurance coverage. An
employee may, however, at the employee's his option and expense, maintain the

month for which the premium is intended. Notwithstanding the, above, however, if
the leave of absence is as a result of exhaustion of sick leave benefits an
employee's group insurance may be maintained for up to three (3) calendar months
16
• •
on the normal premium-sharing formula, providing the employeepays the employee's
h+s share of the premium on a timely basis.
13.7 Except for the one (1 ) year limitation of 13. 1 and the prohibition on
other employment of 13.5, a leave of absence for Union Business may be granted by

lodge at places to be designated by the City. The time spent by such employees in
traveling to such temporary job at its beginning, to and from home on holidays and
weekends, and from such temporary job at its conclusion and any reasonable expense
incurred thereby will be paid by the City.
14.4 If the City requires an employee to perform work for one and one-half
(1-1/2) hours or more beyond regular work hours, it will provide the employee h+m

and the employee is given notice by the end of the preceding work period, the nor-
mal lunch practices will be followed on such days.
14.7 The City shall pay the cost of any meal which it is required to pro-

be one (1 ) hour. If an employee who is entitled to a meal under the provisions of
this Article upon dismissal from work does not accept such meal the employee he
shall nevertheless be entitled to such time allowance of one and one-half (1 1/2)
hours. If an employee who is entitled to a meal under the provisions of this
Article does not accept such meal , the employee shall nevertheless be entitled to
such time allowance of one-half (1/2) hour for each meal missed except for a meal
