What happens if an employee reports back to work late after military service exceeding 30 days?

When an employee returns to work after military service exceeding 30 days, they are subject to the relevant collective bargaining agreement (CBA) provisions. This means that the terms and conditions outlined in the CBA regarding military leave will dictate the appropriate actions and procedures for the employee's reinstatement or any disciplinary measures that might be applicable.

CBAs often contain stipulations for handling situations such as absences due to military service, including reemployment rights and the responsibilities of both the employee and employer. This emphasizes the importance of these agreements in protecting the rights of employees who serve in the military, ensuring they are treated fairly and have clear guidelines on how to proceed after such absences.

In contrast, the requirement of a medical note or the possibility of disciplinary action does not directly relate to the protections afforded by military service laws and might not apply specifically in cases where military service is involved. Likewise, reapplying for the position can suggest a lack of entitlement to reinstatement rights that are typically guaranteed under military service legislation and CBAs, further reinforcing the significance of the relevant provisions in guiding the return to work process after an extended absence due to military duty.
