DEFENCE RESERVES LEAVE Clause Samples

The Defence Reserves Leave clause grants employees the right to take leave from work to fulfill their obligations as members of the Defence Reserves. Typically, this leave is unpaid and applies when an employee is required to attend training, exercises, or be deployed as part of their reserve service. By formalizing the process for requesting and granting such leave, the clause ensures that employees can meet their defence commitments without risking their employment, thereby supporting both national defence needs and job security.
