     471.975 May pay salary differential of reserve on active 
  duty. 

    A statutory or home rule charter city, county, town, school 
 district, or other political subdivision may pay to each 
 eligible member of the reserve components of the armed forces of 
 the United States an amount equal to the difference between the 
 member's active duty military salary and the salary the member 
 would be paid as an active political subdivision employee, 
 including any adjustments the member would have received if not 
 on leave of absence.  Payments must be made at the intervals at 
 which the member received pay as a political subdivision 
 employee.  Back pay authorized by this section may be paid in a 
 lump sum.  Such pay shall not extend beyond four years from the 
 date the employee was called to active duty plus such additional 
 time in each case as such employee may be required to serve 
 pursuant to law. 

    An eligible member of the reserve components of the armed 
 forces of the United States is a reservist or national guard 
 member who was an employee of a political subdivision at the 
 time the member was called to active duty and who was or is 
 called to active duty after August 1, 1990, because of Operation 
 Desert Shield, Operation Desert Storm, or any other action taken 
 by the armed forces relating to hostilities between the United 
 States and the Republic of Iraq.
