If you are a Colorado state employee serving in a reserve component, you get 15 days of paid military leave a year for authorized training or a call to state or federal active duty, and you lose no seniority, status, efficiency rating, vacation, sick leave or other benefits for taking it. If you are called to active duty for longer than 15 days you get extended unpaid military leave, and you must be reinstated to your former position when your service ends.
Give your agency’s human resources office a copy of your orders and request military leave before you go.
Your orders for training or active duty, and your discharge or release paperwork when you return from extended leave.
