An employee wishing to leave the classified service of the City in
good standing shall file with the Chief of his department and the
personnel officer, at least two weeks before leaving, a written resignation
stating the date it shall become effective and the reason for leaving.
Failure to comply with this rule shall be entered on the service record

Resignation. Every employee in the classified service of the City
of Stockton who shall absent himself from his daily work or assigned
duties for the City without a leave of absence from the personnel
officer for a period of five consecutive work days, shall be deemed
by such action to have voluntarily and permanently resigned from his
position in the classified service of the City of Stockton, and shall
be deemed to have voluntarily and permanently severed and separated
himself from his position in the classified service of the City, and
from the benefits of the Civil Service of the City of Stockton.
Every such employee by his unauthorized absence as herein specified
shall be deemed to have voluntarily and permanently withdrawn from
the Civil Service System of the City of Stockton, and to have forfeited
