Military Spouse Leave
Employees who work a minimum of twenty (20) hours per week and are a spouse of an active duty military, National Guard or Reserve person are eligible for up to ten (10) days of unpaid leave while the military spouse, deployed during a period of military conflict to a combat theater or zone, is home on leave. Notice should be provided to the employee’s supervisor and/or Department and/or Division Head, and The Office of Human Resources, as soon as possible.
Where applicable, this leave will run concurrently with leave under the New York State Paid Family Leave Benefits Law. Employees will not be discriminated or retaliated against for taking leave pursuant to this policy.
