                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
 CHAPTER IX--OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR VETERANS' EMPLOYMENT 
                AND TRAINING SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 1002_REGULATIONS UNDER THE UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND 
REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT OF 1994--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart C_Eligibility For Reemployment
 
Sec.  1002.100  Does the five-year service limit include all absences 
from an employment position that are related to service in the uniformed 
services?

    No. The five-year period includes only the time the employee spends 
actually performing service in the uniformed services. A period of 
absence from employment before or after performing service in the 
uniformed services does not count against the five-year limit. For 
example, after the employee completes a period of service in the 
uniformed services, he or she is provided a certain amount of time, 
depending upon the length of service, to report back to work or submit 
an application for reemployment. The period between completing the 
uniformed service and reporting back to work or seeking reemployment 
does not count against the five-year limit.
