PART 1002_REGULATIONS UNDER THE UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND 
REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT OF 1994--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart C_Eligibility For Reemployment
 
Sec.  1002.115  Is the employee required to report to or submit a timely 
application for reemployment to his or her pre-service employer upon 
completing the period of service in the uniformed services?

    Yes. Upon completing service in the uniformed services, the employee 
must notify the pre-service employer of his or her intent to return to 
the employment position by either reporting to work or submitting a 
timely application for reemployment. Whether the employee is required to 
report to work or submit a timely application for reemployment depends 
upon the length of service, as follows:

[[Page 1132]]

    (a) Period of service less than 31 days or for a period of any 
length for the purpose of a fitness examination. If the period of 
service in the uniformed services was less than 31 days, or the employee 
was absent from a position of employment for a period of any length for 
the purpose of an examination to determine his or her fitness to perform 
service, the employee must report back to the employer not later than 
the beginning of the first full regularly-scheduled work period on the 
first full calendar day following the completion of the period of 
service, and the expiration of eight hours after a period allowing for 
safe transportation from the place of that service to the employee's 
residence. For example, if the employee completes a period of service 
and travel home, arriving at ten o'clock in the evening, he or she 
cannot be required to report to the employer until the beginning of the 
next full regularly-scheduled work period that begins at least eight 
hours after arriving home, i.e., no earlier than six o'clock the next 
morning. If it is impossible or unreasonable for the employee to report 
within such time period through no fault of his or her own, he or she 
must report to the employer as soon as possible after the expiration of 
the eight-hour period.
    (b) Period of service more than 30 days but less than 181 days. If 
the employee's period of service in the uniformed services was for more 
than 30 days but less than 181 days, he or she must submit an 
application for reemployment (written or verbal) with the employer not 
later than 14 days after completing service. If it is impossible or 
unreasonable for the employee to apply within 14 days through no fault 
of his or her own, he or she must submit the application not later than 
the next full calendar day after it becomes possible to do so.
    (c) Period of service more than 180 days. If the employee's period 
of service in the uniformed services was for more than 180 days, he or 
she must submit an application for reemployment (written or verbal) not 
later than 90 days after completing service.
