Has anybody ever heard of a non-profit hospital paying full wages while going on Active duty for an indefinate amount of time in Texas or any state? Just curious my employers stated this was the case even if I'll be active duty for years(s). I won't know more details until I submit my orders 30 days prior to leaving. I've heard of reservists activated ro active duty getting full pay in addition to military pay but I thought this was a myth.

It's usually the differenve in your wages, not full wages. It's offered to people who are activated for duty, not those who join active duty. For instance, I knew someone who was a Paralegal in Washington DC. She was activated as part of a COAD. She was an E5 and took a massive pay cut. Her old company paid her until she decided to take a full time civilian position overseas

Yes, this makes more sense. In any event I am glad that there is a policy in place for people who go active duty.....don't have to put a "2 week" notice in, just show orders and give notice.

1LT Crystal Guzman that's not a policy, that's an incentive offered by employers. No one is ever required to pay you for work you aren't doing. If you have a company that will do it, that's great but the most you'll get from the majority of employers is they will hold your job open till you return

Ma'am,
Even if it's partial wages I suggest putting them in for an ESGR employer award. My civilian job pays me for the first 120 hours of work I miss each year. I've put them in for an award every year for that and other reasons. The USERRA only requires time off for military duty; pay for time not worked is not required by law so any amount is above and beyond.

I knew a guy whose company offered him the difference not including BAH. Though he worked for a nuclear power plant and was National Guard.
