Eligibility and Benefit Description (link to Administrative
Handbook, Dean
of College, and Union Contract)
You have the option of using accrued
vacation time while away for military training. If you choose this option, you
will receive vacation pay, in addition to the military pay differential.
If you participate in annual
military training, you may receive a military pay differential. The pay
differential is the amount, if any, by which the employee's normal base pay for
the two-week period exceeds any pay received for such military training duty
for the same period. It is your responsibility to submit documentary proof of
this military training. To qualify for the military pay differential you must
present a statement from your branch of the service indicating the rate and
total amount of wages paid for the training period.
You may be eligible for reemployment
to the position that you held prior to entering the armed forces, or to a
position of similar seniority, status and pay, provided that:
- You were discharged or released under honorable
conditions;
- You are qualified for the job;
- Your circumstances have not changed so as to make it
impossible or unreasonable to be rehired;
- Your total service in the armed forces is no more than
four years (except for additional amounts required by law); and
- You apply for reemployment within the time limits
specified by law, ordinarily 90 days from the date of discharge from
military service.
