(1) An employee who is on approved leave without pay, disaster service volunteer leave or educational leave must notify the appointing authority from which the employee is on leave of the intent to exercise return from leave rights. Upon return from leave, the employee shall have the right to return to a vacant position in the class held prior to the leave or to a class in the same pay grade for which the employee qualifies. If a vacant position is not available, the reduction in force provisions of 11-Chapter 60 shall apply. An employee on leave without pay, disaster service volunteer leave, or educational leave may request permission from the appointing authority to return to work sooner than the original approved leave expiration date. Employees on leave without pay for more than 30 calendar days, except for military leave, shall have their pay increase eligibility date adjusted to a later date which reflects the period of leave without pay.

(2) An employee who elects to separate from employment for purposes of induction into military service shall have the right to return to employment in accordance with 38 U.S.C. Sections 4301 - 4334. Upon return, the employee's pay increase eligibility date and imused sick leave at the time of separation shall be restored.

(3) At the conclusion of a period of military service, an employee who is on approved military service leave must notify the appointing authority of the intent to return to employment. Upon return from military leave, the employee shall have the right to return to employment in accordance with 38 U.S.C. Sections 4301 - 4334.
