Summary
This is an employee policy for military leave. All US public and private employers, regardless of size, must provide military service leave to employees under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). This policy outlines the eligibility requirements and procedures for employees who are absent from work to perform military service. It also provides certain information about employees’ reemployment rights after military service leave. Employers may incorporate this policy into an employee handbook or use it as a stand-alone policy document. Some employers also may be required to provide military-related leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This policy does not address state or local laws. However, state or local laws may impose additional or different requirements on employers for military service leave.
