- General Conditions Governing Military Leaves
- College administrative approval is required prior to the commencement of any leave from work. The college retains the right to require evidence of the initial and on-going need for such a leave; rescind approval of a leave prior to its conclusion; and establish limits and conditions as necessary for employees returning from leaves.
- Request for the leave must be presented in advance, in writing, to the attention of the supervisor of record specifying the purpose and expected duration of the leave.
- College-paid employee benefits will be continued for the duration of paid leaves.
- Failure to return to work at the end of the approved leave will be construed to be a resignation.
- At the conclusion of the leave, the employee will return to the former position, or to another position (possibly in a different department or shift) in the same classification, unless the former position has been eliminated due to lack of work or funds.
