Pay and Benefit Coverage
Employees being granted military leave of absence will be paid
for up to 120 hours of military duty in a federal fiscal year
(October 1 - September 30). There will be no change in the medical,
dental, and other benefit coverage during this
period.
Employees requiring more than 120 hours of military
leave will be granted an unpaid military leave of absence. Employees
may use vacation/personal time in advance of beginning unpaid
military leave. In the case of unpaid military leave of absence
exceeding 30 days, the employee may continue benefit coverage by
paying the full cost of coverage (both the employee and the employer
premiums). If the employee chooses to suspend benefit coverage, the
employee will be eligible for reinstatement of benefits, without any
waiting period upon returning to work.
During the period of military leave with pay, the employee will
not incur a loss of service and will continue to accrue
vacation/sick/personal time. The employee will receive any salary
increase for which otherwise he/she would be eligible. |

Returning from Military Service
Upon discharge from active duty an employee granted a military
leave must apply for re-employment within the following time
limits:
| Military Duty |
Re-application Period |
| < 31 days |
8 hours + travel time |
| 32 - 180 days |
14 days + travel time |
| > 181 days |
90 days + travel time |
The above time limits for reapplication may be extended when an
employee suffers service-related injuries preventing
re-employment.
The returning employee will be re-employed in the job with the
same seniority status, pay, and benefits that he/she would have
attained if continuously working and not on a military leave.
Reasonable efforts will be made to provide any necessary training to
the returning employee.
