Military Leave
Military leave is time off work for service in the military or to fulfill Reserve or National Guard duty. Employees may retain ties with Oklahoma State University for up to five years. This means certain benefits will continue unless cancelled.
Important Information
It is important for employees to coordinate any leave with their department. The Absence Management Specialist, in HR, will provide the employee with guidance for Military Leave.
If you are on active duty for more than 30 days, you and your dependents should be covered under the military health plan. You also have life and disability coverage through the military. Benefits for injuries or illness are determined by the percentage of disability.
Power of Attorney: If you would like somebody to make benefits decisions (and other decisions) for you while you are on active duty, it would be wise to execute a Power of Attorney. OSU HR will allow your Power of Attorney to make benefits changes on your behalf.
