Any probationary employee covered by <br />this Agreement may be disciplined in accordance with the standards and procedures set forth <br />in Santa Ana Municipal Code Sections 9-90, 9-91, 9-118, and subject to review in <br />accordance with the grievance review procedure contained in this Agreement. <br />17.2 In addition, a new section shall be added to the Municipal Code to provide as follows: <br />A. In the event an employee is ordered to absent himself from the j ob based on probable <br />cause and it is subsequently determined by the Police Chief, the City Manager, <br />Personnel Board or a court of competent jurisdiction, that cause did not exist for the <br />ordered absence, the employee shall have restored to him any paid leaves of absence <br />against which such absence may have been charged, and he shall be granted a <br />retroactive leave of absence with pay for the time during which he was prohibited <br />from performing the duties of his position, less any compensation paid to him by the <br />City during such ordered absence unless such employee waives his/her rights to <br />retroactive pay. <br />B. In the event an employee is reduced, suspended and/or discharged, and upon appeal <br />the City Manager, Personnel Board or a court of competent jurisdiction does not <br />sustain such reduction, suspension, and/or discharge, the employee shall be entitled <br />to his base rate or salary including all additives, vacation, and sick leave as if such <br />unsustained reduction, suspension, or discharge had not been invoked. However, in <br />no event shall an employee be entitled to any salary or credit for vacation and sick <br />leave for any period of time covered by a suspension sustained on appeal or for any <br />period of time waived by the employee as a condition to the granting of a continuance <br />of any hearing on appeal. <br />C. If, during an absence for which an employee is paid pursuant to this Section, he <br />earned any money which he would not have earned had he continued to perform the <br />duties of his position, such sum shall be deducted from the salary otherwise payable <br />to him pursuant to this Section. <br />59 <br />
