Paid Leave - Military Leave (USNH Military Leave policy)

return to Paid Leave

See USNH Military Leave policy for information on both Extended Service and Temporary Active Duty.

Compensation for Temporary Active Duty*

Faculty and exempt staff members on temporary military active duty leave will be paid the difference between their regular salary and military pay if the latter is less than regular pay. Regular military pay does not include any allowances for dependents or reimbursement for expenses. In cases whereby temporary military pay is more than the individual's regular budgeted salary for the same period of time, the faculty/staff member will not receive any USNH salary. Military leave will not count against vacation time. Sick and vacation leave will continue to accumulate during temporary military leave.

Options include:

• Employee receives full pay for the period of service by remitting to the University the compensation received not including reimbursement for expenses. The employee is to send a check made payable to “UNH” to his/her respective Business Service Center for deposit. Also provide your name, home department, and dates served.



• Use Annual Leave.



• Use Leave Without Pay.

* Staff members in the Earned Time Program are not eligible for a pay differential and must account for the temporary military active duty time as leave without pay or use accrued Earned Time.
