Hatchet Man said:While doing some web surfing, I discovered that the policy for those employed directly by the city of Toronto (not including, police, fire TTC), that members of the reserve are allowed two weeks of paid leave for reserve training, however they have to payback all compensentation received from the army to city if they are on leave during a period they were scheduled to work. I think policies like this are unfair and are meant to discourage one from going on leave (kinda like dangling a carrot on stick, you can have the leave however there is a catch), especially if you would be making more working those two weeks with the army (although thats kinda hard now what with the large salary increases the city unions got in this round of contracts).
Hatchetman.... it says two weeks of "PAID LEAVE"... meaning that you get your better city salary while you are doing your reserve thing..... what's wrong with that?
If you are away and you happen to be getting a higher salary while you are away (doubt it - but I guess it's possible) ... have it recorded as "leave without pay"... I think what is important is that the company allows for you to go, keeps your job station warm for you & ensures that your seniority does not get affected by your regular & ongoing requests for leave....
Some companies say it differently; they will cover the difference between you regularly earn & what you got paid while you were away (pay stubs proving same)
I think that it's great - would have loved to have had that kind of chance with some of my employers back then.
