Military Leave for Employees Called to Federal Active Duty An employee who is a member of the U.S. Armed Forces or the National Guard and who receives military orders requiring him to be absent from work to support federal authority, will be authorized paid military leave when he submits a copy of his military orders, which sets forth the dates of required military service. Each period of absence must be supported by military orders or copies of other documentation on file in the employee's military unit headquarters. Any probationary, provisional, or permanent employee who voluntarily, or upon demand, leaves a position to enter prolonged federal active duty will be returned to his same or a similar position upon his return from federal active duty as stipulated in the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) (38 USC 4312), provided the employee complies with related USERRA requirements. A copy of the military orders is required to take paid military leave, and a copy of the discharge papers (e.g., DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) is required upon returning from federal active duty. Note: When taken, paid military leave will be coded in the State of Idaho’s online time entry system (I-time) as military leave taken (MLT). Amount of Leave Employees who receive military orders requiring them to be absent from work to support federal authority as described above, will be entitled to 120 hours of paid military leave each calendar year, regardless of whether they work full-time or part-time.
