10.12 Military Leave

Our company supports those who serve in the armed forces to protect our country. In keeping with this commitment, and in accordance with state and federal law, employees who must be absent from work for military service are entitled to take a military leave of absence. This leave will be unpaid.

When an employee's military leave ends, you will be reinstated to the position you would have held if continuously employed, as long as you meet the requirements of federal and state law.

Employees who are called to military service must tell your supervisor as soon as possible that you will need to take military leave. An employee whose military service has ended must return to work or inform Play-Well that you want to be reinstated in accordance with these guidelines:

  • For a leave of 30 or fewer days, you must report back to work on the first regularly scheduled work day after completing military service, allowing for travel time.
  • For a leave of 31 to 180 days, you must request reinstatement within 14 days after military service ends.
  • For a leave of 181 days or more, you must request reinstatement within 90 days after military service ends.

Play-Well will continue health insurance benefits for all eligible employees during their military leave, under these circumstances:

  • If you are absent for 30 or fewer days, you will be treated as any employee not on leave. Play-Well will continue to pay its share of the insurance premium, and you must continue to pay your usual share.
  • If your leave lasts longer than 30 days, you will have to pay the entire premium to continue your benefits.
