You must not have exceeded the five-year cumulative limit on periods of service. The time limit for you to return to your civilian workplace after AT or other types of extended military leave of absence depends on the duration of the orders. Employers also have rights. National Guard and Reserve members are required to give their employer advance written or verbal notification of duty. Except in rare situations, employees should provide a copy of orders, the yearly drill schedule or other type of documentation for any type of military service to their civilian employer as soon as available and as far in advance as possible.
Employers have the right to proof of an employee's military duty.
Your employer should allow you enough time off to travel safely to drill or other military duty and arrive rested. This is administered case by case. An employee must be considered not to have been absent from the workplace if the only reason for that absence was military service. For example, after three years with a company, an employee may be entitled to accrue more vacation per year, or after five years an employee is automatically advanced to a management position. For absence of less than 30 days, health insurance benefits continue as if the employee has not been absent.
