What is Military Leave?

Job-protected time off for employees who serve in the uniformed services, including active duty, training, drills, fitness examinations, and funeral honors duty. In the US, military leave is primarily governed by USERRA (Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act).

Why it matters in hiring

Military Leave comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
