Military Reserve Training Leave

A staff member who is required to attend a military reserve summer encampment is granted short-term military leave of absence. The staff member's regular pay is continued during such a leave for a period not to exceed two weeks in any calendar year, but is reduced by the amount of taxable earnings paid by the government for such services. A staff member who elects to take vacation time for military leave for services is eligible to receive government pay in addition to vacation pay.

Uniformed Service Leave of Absence

In compliance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994, a military leave of absence must be granted to a staff member (regular full-time or regular part-time) who is a member of, or has an obligation to perform services, voluntarily or involuntarily, in a uniformed service (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Public Health Service commissioned corps, as well as the reserve components of each of these services) that necessitates an absence from his or her position of employment. Further information is available upon request from the Human Resources Office.
