§ 6-8. MILITARY LEAVE

Permanent employees who are members of the National Guard or Armed Forces Reserve will be allowed 10 working days of military training leave with partial pay per year. The amount of partial compensation will be equal to the difference in the salary earned as a reservist or guardsman and the salary that would have been earned during this same period as an employee of Halifax County. The effect will be to maintain the employee's salary at the normal level during this period. If such military duty is required beyond this 10-day period, the employee will be placed in a leave without pay status. While taking military leave with partial pay or without pay, the employee's leave credits and other benefits shall continue to accrue as if the employee physically remained with the county during this period. Permanent employees who are guardsmen and reservists have all job rights specified in the Veteran's Readjustment Assistance Act.
