Policy
- The Company recognizes that some of its employees may choose, or be asked, to serve their country by joining the uniformed services. These employees deserve appreciation and respect from their co-workers and management when they depart for service and when they resume their civilian careers. Employees who are absent from work due to service in the uniformed services will be granted military leaves of absence as, and to the extent required by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (“USERRA”) and any other applicable state law.
