When are you entitled to leave of absence?

You are entitled to leave of absence if you are called up for compulsory or voluntary military service. Voluntary service in international peacekeeping operations lasting up to 24 months also entitles you to leave of absence.

Pay during service

If you have been employed for at least 6 months before the period of service, you are entitled to pay.

The full period of compulsory military service counts as pensionable service.

How to apply for leave

You must notify your immediate manager as early as possible after receiving your call-up letter. In addition, you must apply for leave of absence.
