The University of Texas Houston Health Science Center Employees Called to Active Military Duty Rights and Responsibilities
Any regular employee of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHSC-H) who voluntarily enlists in one of the branches of the armed forces and is called to serve or who is a member of one of the reserve branches of the armed forces, state military forces, or the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service who is called to active duty will be supported by this institution through the application of our military leave policies. (Handbook of Operating Procedures policies 2.39E and 2.40A) These policies comply with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). The following is a summary of the rights and responsibilities under these policies.

As outlined by USERRA, applicable time limits are as follows:

  • Employees with service of less than 31 days must return to work by the first work day following return from active duty and allowing for an eight hour rest period. If this is impossible or unreasonable, then return must be as soon as possible.
  • Employees with service of 31 to 180 days must submit in writing a request for reemployment. The reemployment request must be submitted no later than 14 days after the completion of service. If this is impossible or unreasonable through no fault of the employee, then the request must be made as soon as possible.
  • Employees with service of 181 days or more should apply for reemployment no later than 90 days after completion of military service.
  • For employees with a service-connected injury or illness who are hospitalized or convalescing, reporting or application deadlines are extended for up to two years.

Please contact Human Resources at (713) 500-3130 if you have questions regarding these policies.
