306 Military Leave
Employees who are called into active military service or who enlist in the uniformed services are eligible to receive a military leave of absence in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. Employees who are required to attend yearly Reserves or National Guard duty can apply for a temporary military leave of absence not to exceed the number of days allowed by law (including travel).
Eligible employees will be paid the difference between their regular pay and the amount of military pay received from the government (exclusive of travel pay) for a maximum of eleven (11) workdays in a calendar year, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Employees are not eligible for payment if their military pay exceeds their regular pay for the number of workdays involved in the leave.
