MILITARY LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Mission is committed to protecting the job rights of employees absent on military leave. In
accordance with federal and state laws, it is Mission’s policy that no employee or prospective
employee will be subject to any form of discrimination on the basis of that person’s membership
in or obligation to perform service for any of the Uniform Services of the military of the United
States. Specifically, no person will be denied employment, reemployment, promotion or other
benefit of employment on the basis of such membership. Furthermore, no person will be subjected
to retaliation or adverse employment action because such person has exercised his/her rights under
the applicable law or Mission policy. If any employee believes that he/she has been subjected to
discrimination in violation of a Mission policy, then the employee should immediately contact the
head of the People Operations or his/her designee.
Employees taking part in a variety of military duties are eligible for benefits under this policy.
Such military duties include leave of absence taken by members of the Uniform Services of the
military of the United States, including National Guard members and Reservists, for training,
periods of active military service and funeral honors duty, as well as time spent being examined to
determine fitness to perform such service. Subject to certain exceptions under the applicable laws,
these benefits are generally limited to five (5) years of leave of absence.
Employees requesting leave for military duty should contact the People Operations Department as
soon as they are aware of the need for leave and submit to the People Operations Department a
