When your service member is on state or federal deployment orders, your employer must give you unpaid family military leave. Employers with at least 15 but no more than 50 employees give up to 15 days; employers with 51 or more give up to 30 days. Give your employer 14 days’ notice, and use up your vacation, personal, compensatory and other leave first, though sick leave and disability leave do not count.
Give your employer at least 14 days’ notice, along with a copy of the deployment orders, and request family military leave.
