Default Military Leave Policy Reminder

From the most recent missive titled as above:

"In each of these cases, the process for submitting a military leave request is outlined, and we encourage crewmembers to provide us with as early a notice as possible of their upcoming military service."

Just to reinforce, per Federal law (USERRA), there is no "request" required. The ONLY requirement a service member has is to "notify" the employer when work will be missed for military service. Also, there is no requirement per Federal law to use any company provided means to do this notification. A phone call to the Duty Officer is sufficient.

I'm sure it was simply an oversight. Maybe he should have run it through the "uniquely qualified" Military Affairs Liaison. I bet he's completely familiar with the law...
