The College observes all federal and state laws regulating absence from work for military service.  An unpaid leave of absence is granted to any employee fulfilling reserve training, National Guard duties, or active duty service requirements.

If at all possible, absences should be planned to avoid interruption in regular work schedules or duties.  You must present a copy of your military orders to the Human Resources Office as soon as possible after call-up.

The leave is granted without pay, although you may draw upon benefit time to cover the period of absence.  An approved absence without pay not longer than two (2) weeks is granted without interruption of benefits. 

If an unpaid absence is longer than two (2) weeks, then the policy on leave without pay governs eligibility for and payment of benefits.
