Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia is committed to protecting the job rights of employees absent on military leave. In accordance with federal and state law, no employee or prospective employee will be subjected to any form of discrimination based on that person’s membership in, obligation to perform or actual performance of service or training for any of the Uniformed Services of the United States. Specifically, no person will be denied employment, reemployment, promotion, or other benefit of employment based on such membership or service. Furthermore, no person will be subjected to retaliation or adverse employment action because such person has exercised their rights under applicable law. If any employee believes that they have been subjected to discrimination in violation of MTSA policy, the employee should immediately contact the Director of Human Resources.
Employees taking part in military duties are eligible for benefits under this guideline. Such military duties include leaves of absence taken by members of the uniformed services, including Reservists and National Guard members, for training, periods of active military service, and funeral honors duty, as well as time spent being examined to determine fitness to perform such service. Subject to certain exceptions under the applicable laws, these benefits are generally limited to employees who return to MTSA within five years of beginning their military leave of absence.
Employees requesting leave for military duty should contact Human Resources to request leave as soon as they are aware of the need for leave.
