Effect on pay.
When officers or employees are subpoenaed on behalf of the city as witnesses in any
court and are absent from duty because thereof, no deduction shall be made in pay.
(b)
Witness fee when city is party.
It shall be unlawful for the officers charged with the duties of auditing and paying
bills or accounts against the city to audit, allow or pay any bill or claim for witness
fees in favor of any officer or employee of the city or any department thereof in
any case to which the city is a plaintiff or defendant, when the officer or employee
serving as witness is already paid a salary or per diem wages equal to or greater
than the witness fees allowed by law and when such officer or employee has not lost
time or been docked in regular pay for loss of time, which would otherwise have been
paid for because of attendance at court as a witness for or against the city in any
such case. However, it shall be lawful for any such auditing or paying officer to
audit or pay any such bill or claim in any case in obedience to an order of the court
having jurisdiction thereof. In such case no penalty shall follow obedience to the
order of the court.
