Military Duty Leave

Military Duty Leave
Military duty leave is unpaid leave. An employee in a regular position may request military duty leave for the period necessary to perform military duty. An employee may use annual leave for part or all of the period of military duty. If an employee in an exempt position requires military duty leave, supervisors should consult Staffing and Compensation Services (SCS) Division about applicable pay issues. Additional information on military duty leave is available in Section 10.2.1 of the Employee Handbook.

Administration of Military Duty Leave
Employees seeking military duty leave should provide their supervisors with a completed Leave Request form, with a copy of the military order attached. In certain emergency circumstances, oral notification is appropriate, although supervisors should request that employees submit written confirmation as soon as possible.

Supervisors should forward the leave form and CIS documentation to the Employee Benefits Administration Division for action. Benefit Services will forward to Records for inclusion in the employee's official employee record.

Reinstatement Following Military Duty Leave
Federal law requires that the University reinstate, without the loss of seniority, an employee who leaves a regular position to perform military duty. There are certain conditions attached to this right to reinstatement and a supervisor whose employee is seeking reinstatement should contact the Employee Benefits Administration Division for assistance.
