Seniority will continue to accrue during all types of leave except for leaves of absence without pay and suspensions without pay in excess of thirty (30) calendar days, which shall cause this date to be adjusted for an equivalent amount of time. A leave of absence without pay or suspension in excess of thirty (30) calendar days shall not cause an employee to lose the City seniority accrued prior to the leave. Leaves of absence without pay for periods of thirty (30) calendar days or less shall not cause the City seniority date to be adjusted. City seniority shall be used for purposes of computing annual leave accruals, service awards and other matters based on length of service.
