Who should employees notify about written orders while on military leave?

Employees should notify the Office of the Superintendent or Deputy Superintendent about written orders while on military leave to ensure that all procedural and organizational protocols are adhered to. This notification is critical because the Superintendent or Deputy Superintendent oversees the department's operations and policies, including those regarding military leave. By notifying this office, the employee ensures that their military service is recognized at the highest administrative level, which may also involve compliance with federal and state laws governing military leave and employment protections. This process aids in maintaining accurate records and ensures that any necessary arrangements can be made for the employee’s absence and return, supporting a smooth transition during and after their period of military duty.

Notification through other channels, such as a direct supervisor or the Human Resources office, may not provide the same level of oversight or ensure that all necessary parties are informed in accordance with department policies.
