A full-time permanent employee who is a member of the armed forces of the State or any reserve component of the armed forces of the United States shall be entitled to military leave with pay for active duty for required field training provided such leave does not exceed three (3) calendar weeks in a calendar year. Additionally, any such employee who is ordered to active duty as a result of an unscheduled emergency (natural disaster or civil disorder) shall be entitled to military leave with pay not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days in a calendar year. During such leave the employee’s position shall be held and the employee shall be credited with such time for seniority purposes.
Other requests for military leave may be approved without pay. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to prevent an employee from attending ordered military training while on regular scheduled vacation. The provisions of this Article shall supersede C.G.S. Sections 5-248(c) and 27-33 and the appurtenant regulations of the Personnel Policy Board.
