LEAVES OF ABSENCE MILITARY LEAVE 604 <br />Effective Date: 01/01/2016 A military leave of absence will be granted to employees who are absent from work because of service in the U.S. uniformed services in accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Cass County also complies with <br />North Dakota Century code 37-01-25 and 37-01-25.1. Advance notice of military service is <br />required, unless military necessity prevents such notice or it is otherwise impossible or unreasonable. Employees taking military leave shall be granted time off with pay, less the amount of <br />compensation received from the military. Military leave pay will be calculated on the <br />employee’s base pay rate times the number of hours the employee would otherwise have worked on the day of absence, up to a maximum of 8 hours. Employees on military leave for up to 30 days are required to return to work for the first <br />regularly scheduled shift after the end of service, allowing reasonable travel time. Employees <br />on longer military leave must apply for reinstatement in accordance with USERRA and all applicable state laws. Employees returning from military leave will be placed in the position they would have <br />attained had they remained continuously employed or a comparable one depending on the <br />length of military service in accordance with USERRA. They will be treated as though they were continuously employed for purposes of determining benefits based on length of service. Contact the Human Resources Department for more information or questions about military <br />leave. <br /> Cass County 46
