Any certification required by this section may be made by any commissioned officer of such armed forces. The Controller shall have power at any time to require such additional evidence as is satisfactory to the Controller of the entry of such employee into active service in such armed forces and of the actual performance by the employee of ordered military duty during all or any part of such leave. (b) In determining whether an employee has been in the service of the City for a period of not less than one year immediately prior to the date on which the absence begins, continuous service as that term is defined in Section 4.42(t) of this Code shall be required, provided, however, that service in any department having control of its own funds shall be counted in making such determination.
