National Guard and Reserve Leave <br /> Any officer or employee who is a member of the National Guard or other reserve unit is <br /> entitled to a leave of absence from public office or employment without loss of pay, <br /> seniority status, efficiency rating, vacation leave, sick leave, or other benefits for the time <br /> that s/he is engaged with the reserve in training or active service so long as such leave does <br /> not exceed a total of fifteen (15) days in any calendar year. Such leave will be allowed only <br /> in cases where the required service is satisfactorily performed. Such leave will not be <br /> allowed unless the officer or employee: <br /> 1. Returns to the public position immediately on being relieved from such military or <br /> naval service and not later than the expiration of the time herein limited for such <br /> leave; or <br /> 2. Is prevented from returning to employment by physical or mental disability or <br /> other cause not due to the officer's or employee's own fault; or <br /> 3. Is required by proper authority to continue in such military or naval service beyond <br /> the time herein limited for such leave. <br /> Military Leave for Uniformed Service <br /> Except as provided otherwise in the National Guard and Reserve Leave Policy above, <br /> employees who are members of, apply to perform, or have an obligation to perform service <br /> in a uniformed service will be granted an unpaid leave of absence to perform such service. <br /> Military leave requests shall be made to the immediate supervisor. The term "uniformed <br /> service" means the Armed Forces, the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard <br /> when engaged in active duty, active duty for training, initial active duty for training, <br /> inactive duty training, full-time National Guard duty, the commissioned corps of the Public <br /> Health Service, and any other category of persons designated by the President in time of <br /> war or emergency. As soon as an employee is informed of the dates of the military <br /> training, s/he should notify his or her supervisor and request a leave of absence, even if <br /> s/he has not yet received written orders. <br /> In the case of an employee whose period of military service is fewer than 31 days, an <br /> employee must report back to his or her job at the first regularly scheduled shift after the <br /> completion of military service and the time required for return from the place of military <br /> service to the place of civilian employment. An employee called to active duty for more <br /> than 30 days, but less than 181 days, must report back to his or her job not more than 14 <br /> days after the completion of his or her military service. An employee called to active duty <br /> for more than 180 days must report back to his or her job not more than 90 days after the <br /> completion of his or her military service. <br /> This policy is not intended to preclude leave with pay as may be provided in the National <br /> Guard and Reserve Leave Policy above. <br /> Juryk�s Duty Leave and Court Appearances <br /> Employees will be allowed a leave of absence pursuant to state statutes without restriction <br /> or sanction when called for jury duty. <br /> 26 <br />
