§ 2-1108. Waiver of compensation claim by failure to give notice.
Latest version.
Any claim for compensation, salary or wages arising out of the employment of any person
by the city under this chapter, or any amendment thereto, and any claim of any nature
for alleged illegal deductions from compensation, salary or wages arising out of such
employment under this chapter or any amendment thereto, shall be deemed waived and
barred and the employee shall be deemed to have consented to and become a party to
such waiver, unless he shall serve, or cause to be served, a personally signed notice
in writing upon the director of finance specifying therein the amount of such compensation,
salary or wage claimed wrongfully withheld. Such notice must be served within six
months from the date the alleged amount shall have become due and payable. The requirement
of notice set out in this section is a term of the contract of employment under this
chapter or any amendment thereto. Any employee thereunder is bound by such requirement
as a condition precedent to the recovery of any such claimed compensation, salary
or wage and as a term and condition of his employment. Failure to serve such notice
within the six-month period automatically and permanently results in such bar and
waiver.
