| Seniority, Benefit, and Retirement Rights of Reservists |
| At the employee’s choice, the employee may choose to use vacation and/or other paid leave or may choose to have those leaves frozen until the employee returns to active employment. Sick leave balances are frozen until the employee returns to active employment. However, upon the employee’s return to employment, vacation accrual and longevity pay accrual rates as well as seniority will be based upon the effective date of employment and will include time spent in the armed forces for military duty. Contributions to the employee’s retirement plan cease with the unpaid leave of absence. Employees returning to UTHSC-H may choose to buy back their retirement service. An employee may continue insurance benefits while on unpaid leave. However, the employee is responsible for remitting to Benefits the full premium (employee and state portion) to keep insurances in force for any full calendar month that the employee is in an unpaid leave status. A Benefits representative (713-500-3935) can assist employees with questions about retirement service buyback's and maintenance of insurance coverage's. |
