SOUND RETIREMENT | 12

If you qualify for a grace period for maternity or paternity
reasons, you must submit a grace period application and provide
adequate proof of the circumstances on which the application is
based. You must provide the number of days for which there was
an absence.

Family and Medical Leave
If you are absent from Covered Employment after August 4, 1993
and eligible for family or medical leave under the provisions of
the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, you will receive credit
for the time on leave, but only for determining whether or not a
1-year break in service has occurred. These hours will not count
toward earning credited service.
Military Service under USERRA
The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights
Act (“USERRA”) provides reemployment rights and benefits
and protection from discrimination to individuals who, either
by induction or as volunteers, have entered military service in
any branch of the uniformed forces of the United States. If you
satisfy the conditions for protection under USERRA, and you
are on leave of absence due to military service, you will receive
credited service for any period of required military service plus
a readjustment or re-education period, provided you worked for
a contributing employer prior to military service and became
employed by that contributing employer after the readjustment
or re-education period.
To be entitled to reemployment rights and benefits under
USERRA, the law generally requires that you:

 leave employment because of your military service;
 give advance notice of your military service to your employer,
unless notice is prevented by military necessity or is otherwise
impossible or unreasonable to give under the circumstances;

 be absent from employment for military service for five years
or less, unless extended service is required as part of your
initial period of obligation or your service is involuntarily
extended, such as during war;
 apply for a job as required by law within the requisite time
period; and
 receive an honorable discharge or satisfactorily complete your
military service.
Effective October 1, 2007, if you die while performing military
service and would otherwise qualify for reemployment rights
under applicable federal law, you will be treated as having been
reemployed on the day preceding the date of death and then
having terminated employment on the date of death to the extent
required by law.
