Stephen Lynch aimed at giving federal workers who are also veterans extra time off to seek medical care. The new law provides the employees with 104 hours of what Lynch calls "Wounded Warrior leave" during their first year in the federal workforce so that they can seek medical treatment for service-connected disabilities without being forced to take unpaid leave or forego their appointments. The Massachusetts Democrat said getting the proposal to Obama's desk was a bipartisan effort. The measure passed the House unanimously on 28 SEP and then passed the Senate, also unanimously, on 26 OCT. Lynch said the new law reflects Congress' gratitude and appreciation for the hardship and sacrifices made by veterans. <br /><br />[Source: The Associated Press | November 8, 2015 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 14:34:47 -0500 Did your federal employer tell you about Wounded Warrior leave? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/did-your-federal-employer-tell-you-about-wounded-warrior-leave <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Wounded Warrior Leave ► H.R.313 Signed Into Law <br />President Obama has signed into law the Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act of 2015 sponsored by U.S. Rep.
