Sec.  104.4  Policy.

    It is DoD policy to support non-career service by taking appropriate 
actions to inform and assist uniformed Service members and former 
Service members who are covered by the provisions of 38 U.S.C. chapter 
43, and individuals who apply for uniformed service of their rights, 
benefits, and obligations under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 43. Such actions 
include:
    (a) Advising non-career Service members and individuals who apply 
for uniformed service of their employment and reemployment rights and 
benefits provided in 38 U.S.C. chapter 43, as implemented by this part, 
and the obligations they must meet to exercise those rights.
    (b) Providing assistance to Service members, former Service members 
and individuals who apply for uniformed service in exercising employment 
and reemployment rights and benefits.
    (c) Providing assistance to civilian employers of non-career Service 
members in addressing issues involving uniformed service as it relates 
to civilian employment or reemployment.
    (d) Considering requests from civilian employers of members of the 
National Guard and Reserve to adjust a Service member's scheduled 
absence from civilian employment because of uniformed service or make 
other accommodations to such requests, when it is reasonable to do so.
    (e) Documenting periods of uniformed service that are exempt from a 
Service member's cumulative 5-year absence from civilian employment to 
perform uniformed service as provided in 38 U.S.C. chapter 43 and 
implemented by this part.
    (f) Providing, at the Service member's request, necessary 
documentation concerning a period or periods of service, or providing a 
written statement that such documentation is not available, that will 
assist the Service member in establishing civilian reemployment rights, 
benefits and obligations.
