Seniority Retention. An employee whose employment has not been terminated by resignation or discharge, and whose seniority has not been lost under Section 7.5, will retain, but not accrue, seniority in these cases: (a) on leave of absence other than one specified in Section 7.5 so long as he/she complies with the conditions of such leave; (b) for one hundred and eighty (180) days on promotion or assignment to a position not covered by this Agreement; notwithstanding the above, any police officer who promotes to a sergeant's position subsequent to January 1, 1985, shall not accrue PO bargaining unit seniority while in a higher rank in the department but shall retain all PO seniority accrued to the date of promotion. A dispatcher that is reappointed to the position of a police officer will retain their dispatch seniority for up to one year from the date of reappointment, conditional upon not successfully completing their police officer probationary period.
