53.57. MILITARY LEAVE FOR UNIFORMED SERVICE Except as provided otherwise in the National Guard and Reserve Leave Policy above, employees who are members of, apply to perform, or have an obligation to perform service in a uniformed service will be granted an unpaid leave of absence to perform such service. Military leave requests shall be made when engaged in active duty, active duty for training, initial active duty for training, inactive duty training, full-time National Guard duty, the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service, and any other category of persons designated by the President in time of war or emergency. As soon as an employee is informed of the dates of the military training, he or she should notify his or her supervisor and request a leave of absence, even if he or she has not yet received written orders. In the case of an employee whose period of military service is less than 31 days, an employee must report back to his or her job at the first regularly scheduled shift after the completion of military service and the time required for return from the place of military service to the place of civilian employment. An employee called to active duty for more than 30 days, but less than 181 days, must report back to his or her job not more than 14 days after the completion of his or her military service. An employee called to active duty for more than 180 days must report back to his or her job not more than 90 days after the completion of his or her military service. This Policy is not intended to preclude leave with pay as may be provided in the National Guard and Reserve Leave Policy above. 54.58.
