D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 6, r. 6-B229
An employee who is covered by § 228.1(a) may resign or may be either separated or furloughed, i.e., placed on leave without pay status, by the District while he or she is on military duty by his or her agency. Regardless of the nature of the administrative action taken, all such employees shall be entitled to be returned to duty pursuant to this section. Employees who are eligible for military leave pursuant to § 1262 may use military leave.
An agency shall not demote or separate an employee while the employee is on furlough or military leave pursuant to § 1262. If the employee's position is abolished during his or her absence, the agency shall reassign the employee to another position of like status and pay upon returning to duty with the District government.
If an employee returning from military duty applies for re-employment within ninety (90) days after discharge from service, or from hospitalization continuing after discharge for a period of not more than one (1) year, the employee shall be returned to duty as soon as possible, but no later than thirty (30) days after submitting his or her complete application.
When a disability sustained during military duty disqualifies an employee from returning to a position of right, the personnel authority shall return the employee to duty in a position for which he or she is qualified and provides like status and pay, to the extent possible.
