Military leave policy

hrtcfv

Is there a "standard" ploicy for military leave that I can insert in our policies and procedures?

Not sure what you mean by "standard". If you follow the provisions of USERRA and any state statute that applies to you, you'll be in compliance. A search of this site on military leave will give you sufficient info.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "standard" policy, but there are definately federal requirements under USERRA that are very clear. The issue becomes how you choose to administer certain aspects, like how long you will pay employee benefit contribution rates beyond what's legally required, whether any portion of the leave is paid, etc. I will email you a copy of our policy for your reference to your email, as that may be useful.

DTW is correct about the things you need to decide for military leave. I'd be glad to e-mail you policy language for your handbook, but you still have to decide what you wish to do about various issues that come up under the Act.
