Introduced
by
To prohibit an employer from denying leave to an employee wishing to perform military service. Also, to require that if the person is qualified, for 90 days he or she would be reemployed in the position that he or she would have had, and after 90 days, if not qualified, reemployed in the same position that he or she held when the service began. The employee would be entitled to seniority, rights and benefits he or she would have had if employment not been interrupted by military service.
Referred to the Committee on Senior Citizens and Veterans Affairs
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute addresses terms of reemployment if the person is unable to perform his or her old job or the job the person would hold had he or she not left, ends the mandate after five years of active service, and specifies that the mandate does not apply if the employee received a dishonorable discharge.

The requirement would last for five years in most cases, but would not apply if the employee received a less than honorable discharge.
