Military Leave - A Managers Checklist

Employees serving in the Military Reserve or National Guard may be recalled to active duty status for extended periods of time. Employees who have been involuntarily recalled to active military duty, aside from their regular annual training obligations, may be entitled to a paid leave of absence and/or supplementary salary differential.

The following checklist can be used to help ensure:

• The employee receives any compensation and benefits that they are entitled to during their leave
• The employee’s benefits are administered correctly during their absence
• An orderly transition for both the department and employee
• University resources are safeguarded

For specific information regarding eligibility for paid leave of absence and/or supplementary salary differential, please contact a member of the Benefits Staff.

Note: This checklist below is designed for most University employees. Individual departments and employees may require additional or different actions or arrangements upon an employee taking an extended leave. Please consult your divisional/departmental policies for special requirements.

• Before the Employee Leaves
• Special Materials
• When the Employee Leaves
• When the Employee Returns
