| 1 |
| During leaves for annual training, the employee shall | 2 |
| continue to receive
his or her regular compensation as a public | 3 |
| employee.
During leaves for basic training and up to 60 days of | 4 |
| special or advanced
training, if the employee's compensation | 5 |
| for military activities
is less
than his or her compensation as | 6 |
| a public employee, he or
she shall receive his or her regular
| 7 |
| compensation as a public employee minus the amount of his or
| 8 |
| her base pay for military
activities.
| 9 |
| (a-5) For the purpose of this Act, leave for annual | 10 |
| training includes either: | 11 |
| (1) Unit annual training. For an employee who is | 12 |
| ordered to annual training as part of a military unit, | 13 |
| annual training leave is limited to that unit's annual | 14 |
| training period of consecutive calendar days for the | 15 |
| federal fiscal year, as reflected in that unit's annual | 16 |
| training order, but not to exceed 21 consecutive calendar | 17 |
| days; or | 18 |
| (2) Individual annual training. For an employee who is | 19 |
| not ordered to annual training as part of a military unit, | 20 |
| annual training leave is limited per federal fiscal year to | 21 |
| a maximum of either 21 consecutive calendar days or 15 | 22 |
| cumulative calendar days of annual training or other active | 23 |
| duty performed in lieu of annual training, as reflected in | 24 |
| individual military orders or other appropriate | 25 |
| documentation. | 26 |
| For each federal fiscal year, an employee is entitled to | 27 |
| annual training leave for either one unit annual training | 28 |
| period, as described in subparagraph (1) of this subsection | 29 |
| (a-5), or individual annual training, as described in | 30 |
| subparagraph (2) of this subsection (a-5), but not both. An | 31 |
| employee must provide his or her employing State agency, unit | 32 |
| of local government, or school district with a copy of the | 33 |
| employee's military orders to support his or her claim for | 34 |
| annual training leave.
