            MILITARY RESERVES LEAVE OF ABSENCE
            Non-compensated leaves of absence for military service shall be granted to eligible employees in accordance with
            the law and provided that employees give prior notice of their absence; have not previously taken military leave that,
            when added to the current period of leave, exceeds five years; and notify their supervisor of their intent to return to
            their positions. Employees may but are not required to use paid time off during the period of leave. The rights and
            benefits of seniority shall accrue during leaves of absence for military service as though employment were continuous
            and other benefits of employment shall accrue during leaves of absence for military service as they do during other
            non-military leaves of absence.
