Effective Date: 11/23/2009

Revision Date:

General Provisions

It is the policy of PMG to grant up to ten (10) days of unpaid leave per year to an eligible employee of a military serviceman or woman called to active duty in the Armed Forces (including active and reserve components). The year (twelve (12) month period) is computed on a rolling basis. The twelve (12) month period is measured backward from the first date an employee uses this leave.

Eligibility

In order to qualify to take military family leave under this policy, the employee must meet all of the following conditions:

The employee must have been employed for twelve (12) months and worked at least 1,500 hours during the last year.

The employee must be a spouse, parent, child, grandparent or sibling of a military member called to active duty for a period of eighty-nine (89) or more consecutive calendar days.

Computation of Available Leave

Family military leave can be taken during one or more of the following time periods:

The thirty (30) days before the active duty orders are in effect,

During a leave provided to the military serviceman or woman on active duty while the active duty orders are in effect; and

The thirty (30) days immediately following the termination of the active duty orders.

Procedure for Taking Leave

Any employees requesting leave under this policy must submit a request in writing, including a copy of active duty orders, if available, before military family leave will be granted. Employees must provide at least thirty (30) days notice to PMG before the date that the requested leave is to begin unless the active duty orders are issued less than thirty (30) days prior to the date that the requested leave is to start. If an employee does not provide the required verification, PMG may treat the absence as unexcused.

Employees will be required to substitute any accrued paid leave for any part of the ten (10) day period of such leave.

Reinstatement

PMG will reinstate eligible employees to the same or an equivalent position when the leave period ends.
