Contact: Employee/Labor Relations Office
Introduction
All university employees other than those employed temporarily for six months or less, who are members of the National Guard, organized reserves or any component part of the military, naval, or air forces or nurse corps of this state or nation, or who are or may be otherwise inducted into the military services of this state or of the United States, shall, when ordered by proper authority to active state or federal service, be entitled to a leave of absence from employment for the period of such active state or federal service, without loss of status or efficiency rating, and without loss of pay from the university during the first thirty (30) days of such leave of absence in a year.
Policy Statement
Any additional time in excess of thirty (30) days must be on "leave without pay" basis. Thirty (30) days leave is defined as thirty (30) calendar days. Year is defined as a calendar year.
When an employee is ordered by a proper authority to active state or federal service for a period of time less than thirty (30) calendar days, the actual work days missed will be counted toward the first thirty (30) days of such leave of absence without loss of pay.
Graduate assistants and B-base personnel should schedule annual military leave during the summer months when they are not on university duty. Graduate assistants and B-base employees may be granted up to thirty (30) days of leave with pay upon written verification by the commanding officer that alternate service during the summer is not available.
