As a Virginia state employee serving in a reserve component, you get 21 workdays of paid military leave each federal fiscal year for required training and for state or federal active duty. You also get up to 8 hours a year of paid time for pre-induction and other physical examinations required for military service. You do not lose seniority or accrued leave balances for taking it. Former members recalled to active duty and state employees who volunteer for active duty also qualify.
Give your agency’s human resources office a copy of your military orders and request paid military leave under Virginia DHRM Policy 4.50.
Your orders for training or active duty, or the notice for your required physical examination.
