Sec. 353.107  Service credit upon reemployment.

    Upon reemployment, an employee absent because of uniformed service 
or compensable injury is generally entitled to be treated as though he 
or she had never left. This means that a person who is reemployed 
following uniformed service or full recovery from compensable injury 
receives credit for the entire period of the absence for purposes of 
rights and benefits based upon seniority and length of service, 
including within-grade increases, career tenure, completion of 
probation, leave rate accrual, and severance pay.
