Military Leave of Absence

If team members are called into active military service or enlist in the uniformed services, they will be eligible to receive an unpaid military leave of absence. To be eligible for military leave, team members must provide management with advance notice of service obligations unless they are prevented from providing such notice by military necessity or it is otherwise impossible or unreasonable to provide such notice.

 

Provided the absence does not exceed applicable statutory limitations, team members will retain reemployment rights and accrue seniority and benefits in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. Team members should ask management for further information about eligibility for Military Leave.

​

If team members are required to attend yearly Reserves or National Guard duty, they can apply for an unpaid temporary military leave of absence not to exceed the number of days allowed by law (including travel). They should give management as much advance notice of their need for military leave as possible so that Southwest Care Center can maintain proper coverage while team members are away.
