Sec. 116.912. - Connection of broken service.

For purposes of entitlement to service raises and leave benefits, a permanent civil service employee of the City shall receive and be entitled to credit for all prior full-time employment (at least 30 hours per week) as an employee of the City or a former government of the City upon approval by the Director of the Employee Services Department of the City or designee. Prior to approval, an employee seeking connection of broken service shall file an application with the Employee Services Department, setting forth such information as the Employee Services Department deems necessary or appropriate for consideration of the application. The entitlement to benefits shall begin with the commencement of the first pay period after the Director of the Employee Services Department has approved the application. Approval by the Director of the Employee Services Department shall affect only a change in the rate of accrual of leave benefits and the amount of service raises to which an employee may be entitled. In no event shall any retroactive payment of a service raise nor retroactive accrual of leave time be credited for any period of time prior to the connection of broken service by the Director of the Employee Services Department. No credit shall be granted under this Section for purposes of seniority under the civil service laws applicable to employees of the City.
