Full- and part-time permanent employees who are called into active duty or active duty training may be eligible for Military Leave. Employees must provide copies of orders for Military Leaves to be processed. Employees’ rights to Military Leave are provided and protected under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and other applicable federal and state laws. To apply for a Military Deployment Leave, you must fill out the Request for Military Leave Form (PDF). For all other military-related leaves, contact the Leave Center for the proper paperwork. A qualifying exigency occurs when an employee’s spouse, son, daughter, or parent who is a member of the National Guard or Reserves is on active duty or has been called to active duty in support of a contingency operation. The reasons an employee may take leave because of a qualifying exigency are divided into seven general categories: Eligible employees who are the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of a covered service member will be entitled to leave in order to care for a service member who has a serious injury or illness incurred on active duty (and in the line of duty) for which he or she is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy; is otherwise in outpatient status; or is on the temporary disability retired list.
