Military Leave of Absence |
County of Orange employees who are
members of the Armed Forces are entitled to 30 days of paid
military leave each fiscal year per the California Military and
Veteran's Code (Section 395.01). In order to receive the 30 days
of paid military leave the employee must provide a copy of their
military orders,
and any subsequent extensions,
to the Professional Standards
Division, attention Christina Rivas as soon as possible.
If an employee is deployed past the 30 days on an extended
military leave, the employee may be eligible for supplemental
military pay per Board Resolution 01-350 adopted on October 16,
2001. The supplemental military pay benefit was put into effect
as a result of the National Emergency with respect to terrorism
as declared by the President's Executive Order 13224 on
September 23, 2001, and the resolution has been extended until
such time that it is discontinued by the Board.
To be eligible for the supplemental military pay, the employee
must submit a current leave and earnings statement from
their branch of service in addition to their Active Duty
military orders. The leave and earnings statement (LES) must
provide the employee's pay grade and years of service. A new
leave and earnings statement must be provided every calendar
year. This information enables the County to determine the
correct amount of supplemental pay that is to be paid to the
employee.
Failure to provide the LES statement/military pay stub prior
to the employee's deployment date will result in
cancellation of the employees County paycheck after 4
pay periods.
The overpayment earnings received during
this four week period and any overpayments going forward will
be required to be repaid upon the employees return to work
with the Sheriffs Department.
Any questions or issues regarding military pay or military
supplemental pay should be referred to the Professional
Standards Division, Christina Rivas @ (714) 647-1876.
Thank you for
your cooperation on this very important matter.
