A firefighter who has served on active duty for a period of three (3) continuous months, or longer, is eligible to apply for Military Leave Pool hours to provide salary continuation and supplement military pay not to exceed the base pay earned while actively working for the Department. An application for salary continuation must be submitted and information provided to determine the salary difference. Requests for Salary Continuation through the Military Leave Pool shall be made by submitting a request, in advance when possible, to include a copy of official orders requiring a firefighter to attend authorized training or properly authorized military duty. Application shall be made to the Department and the Fire Chief along with a list of days the firefighter anticipates using the Military Leave Pool. In the case of deployment, firefighters are encouraged to contact Human Resources as early as possible regarding your need for leave. Military Leave time shall be marked on the leave request. A separate application will be required for firefighters desiring salary continuation from the pool for consecutive leave for involuntary call up on a form provided by the City.
