A. 
Pursuant to the express provisions of Section 105.270.1, RSMo., the City of St. Robert is required provide leaves of absence with pay to employees who are:
1. 
Members of the National Guard or of any reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States without loss of time, pay, regular leave, impairment of efficiency rating, or of any other rights or benefits, to which otherwise entitled, for:
a. 
All periods of military services during which they are engaged in the performance of duty or training in the service of this State at the call of the Governor and as ordered by the adjutant general without regard to length of time; and
b. 
For all periods of military services during which they are engaged in the performance of duty in the service of the United States under competent orders for a period not to exceed a total of one hundred twenty (120) hours in any Federal fiscal year.
B. 
All employees of the City who meet either of the two (2) above described categories of military service shall be entitled to a military leave of absence with pay.
C. 
If any full-time City employee is called to military service in the service of the State of Missouri, the City will place the employee on a military leave of absence with pay. During his or her military leave of absence, the employee will be entitled to receive City pay equal to what he or she would have earned had he or she not been called to service.
D. 
If a regular full-time employee is called to military service in the service of the United States, the City will place the employee on a military leave of absence with pay equal to what he or she would have earned had he or she not been called to service. However, the maximum annual military leave of absence pay for the regular, full-time employee shall be limited to one hundred and twenty (120) hours of leave time.
E. 
If a full-time firefighter employee is called to military service in the service of the United States, the City will place the employee on a military leave of absence with pay equal to what he or she would have earned had he or she not been called to service. However, the maximum annual military leave of absence pay for the full-time firefighter employee shall be limited to one hundred sixty-nine (169) hours of leave time. Because a full-time firefighter works under different shift and pay schedules than does a regular full-time employee, it is necessary to make this adjustment so that the military leave of absence limitation period for a full-time firefighter is equivalent to that of a regular full-time employee.
F. 
All other provisions and requirements of Section 105.270, RSMo., shall be complied with.

The results of the Federal Bureau of Investigation check will be returned to the appropriate State agency or bureau, which will disseminate the State and national results to the St. Robert City Clerk.
