3437.01 - MILITARY LEAVE
The Board of Education provides military leave, reemployment, and other rights as established by the Federal Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and State law. To qualify:
| A. | the employee (or an appropriate officer in the uniformed service in which the employee’s military service is performed) gave advance written or verbal notice of his/her military duty unless excused; | |
| B. | the cumulative length of all periods of military service with the employer do not exceed five (5) years, except as provided under State statute; | |
| C. | the employee reports to work in a timely manner after the period of military service ends; | |
| D. | the employee has not separated from service with a disqualifying discharge or other than honorable conditions. |
The Superintendent shall post notices of employees’ right under USERRA at conspicuous locations within the District.
Employees may contact the U.S. Department of Labor or the Michigan Department of Military and Veteran's Affairs to obtain more information regarding their rights under these statutes.
This policy is intended to comply with and explain the service person’s rights under USERRA. To the extent there is any conflict between this policy and USERRA and/or State law, USERRA and/or State law will prevail.
