Funeral Military and Military Family Leave

Funeral - As a state employee, you are eligible for leave with pay for attending the funeral of certain relatives or members of your household. This shall not exceed three regularly scheduled consecutive working days and the days must be in conjunction with the date of the death or the funeral. Such leave may be granted upon the death of: your spouse, father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, grandparent (including greats); grandchild (including greats), or the spouse of any of these. If you are married, leave may be available for the same members of your spouse's family. You also may be able to take funeral leave for a person living in the same household with you.

Military Leave - Military leave without loss of pay shall be granted for training or duty in the National Guard, Air National Guard, or a reserve component for up to a maximum of 15 working days in a calendar year. Military orders are required and leave is charged in accordance with the orders. If you enter military service for active duty, you are entitled to unpaid leave and, upon request, must be restored to your position or one of similar classification and salary upon completion of your military service consistent with federal law on employment and re-employment rights for members of the uniformed services. If you are on active military duty, you may be eligible for differential pay and continuation of family health care benefits. Please visit www.in.gov/spd/2396.htm for more information.

Military family - If you are the child, spouse, parent, grandparent, or sibling of a member of the armed forces who are deployed for full-time military service for a period that exceeds 89 days, you will be permitted an unpaid leave of absence. This cannot exceed 10 working days in a calendar year to spend with such active-duty family members. The Family-Medical Leave Act also provides leave for eligible employees whose spouse, child, or parent is called to active duty and/or injured while on such active duty.
