Article 5.9 - Military Leave
Section 43095 - Military Leave

a. Any campus or administrative office employee who takes a leave of absence to enter military service shall submit the documents and follow the procedures required by the law governing military leaves. All documents required to effect such a leave for a campus employee shall be submitted by the employee to the campus president or designee for approval. Administrative office employees shall submit the documents to the Chancellor or designee for approval.

b. An employee is entitled to paid active duty military leave as prescribed by state and federal law. When approved by the Chancellor, an employee on active duty military leave extending beyond the paid entitlement shall receive the difference in pay between military pay and California State University pay for up to an amount of time specified by the Chancellor. The CSU difference in pay acts as a salary supplement to military pay. The limit specified by the Chancellor is in addition to any paid active duty military leave under existing law. If an employee does not return to CSU service within the required time of being released from active duty, the CSU difference in pay salary supplemental shall be treated as a loan that must be repaid to the CSU with interest.

Employees on a difference in pay salary supplement continue to receive CSU provided health, dental, and vision benefits at the level current with the leave for the period of time specified by the Chancellor.
