Military Service
Under the federal Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 ("USERRA"), employers are required to grant
employees leaves for periods of military service, generally for a total of up
to five years. California military leave laws, like the USERRA, ensure that
employees are not adversely affected in their employment because of military
service.
The National Defense Authorization Act for 2008 (NDAA)
amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) to permit a "spouse,
son, daughter, parent, or next of kin" to take up to 26 workweeks of leave to
care for a "member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National
Guard or Reserves, who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or
therapy, is otherwise in outpatient status, or is otherwise on the temporary
disability retired list, for a serious injury or illness."
