A Buddy of mine has started a new civilian job recently and he's in the National Guard. His New Employer told him that when he has to report to Monthly Drills and Annual Training, if he doesn't make more money during those periods than he would if he had to work his scheduled work week, they would reimburse him for the amount he would have made if he hadn't of had to report to Drill or Annual Training. They said there was a Law that required it. Is this true? If so, where can I find where it states this?

There is no law that provides for this, HOWEVER, many corporations and companies have made it their own policy to do so.  Sears is one such place.. any of their employees that are called up receive the difference between their Reserve/Guard base pay and their Sears salary for the duration, as well as maintaining their medical bennies.\n\nThe only things that are required by the SSRA is that employers may not fire someone for being called up, they must hold a position of equal authority and pay open for them and they may not be penalized for promotion.

No.\n\nMany employers (including both the federal govt and State of CA) will pay an employee their regular salary while they report for jury duty, but there is absolutely no law that requires employers in CA to pay an employee while they serve.\n\nJury duty is a civic duty and  is not funded privately by your employer.   Many employers, especially the larger ones, will pay you but they are not required by law to do so.\n\nIn CA,  state law provides that you will receive "$15.00 per day for the second day of service and every day thereafter and .20 cents per mile one way, for every day of service, including the first day. There is no pay for the first day of service. "Service" is defined as physically reporting to the court."\n\nThe law also says that your employer must allow you time off to serve, and that you cannot be penalized or harassed in any way by your employer because you have been called.  You are required to immediately tell your employer that you have been summoned, presumably so they can make proper arrangements to cover your work while you are gone.  In other words, you can't just not show up for work for a week without saying anything and then expect not to be fired because you were on jury duty.

When I worked for Manpower they paid my wages for the staffing I did in their name. I worked on the manufacturing floor of a disk drive manufacturer. The DDM paid Manpower and I in turn recevied a wage. Manpower was my employer and did not charge me. Companies that do may be illegal.

Think about this, is there any other job that will pay you while you are hurt for 15 months?  Is there any job where they will pay you 20k just for working for them for a few more years?  Is there any other job that will give you money for a house (BAH) or give you a house to live in.  That is what made me re-enlist.

You will have to contact human resources and payroll dept.  Depending on the company, I am sure there is a handbook somewhere that has all the rules and regulations(most of it is in small print).  Good luck!

if you are a mechanic in the army, yes you will get time off to do whatever you want.  there wont be anyone breathing down your back all the time unless if you get into trouble.  sometimes you will work long hours and others you will get off early.  the army has one 3 or 4 day weekend a month which is nice.  you will usually work M-F starting out doing PT at 6:30 until 7:30, then you go home to shower and eat breakfast and come back to work at 9 and get off at 5.  mechanics usually get all weekends off.  now if you get deployed or your unit is getting ready to deploy you wont get much time off.  getting ready to deploy takes a lot of work and you will work a lot.  and when you are deployed there is no such thing as a day off but you will get personal time every day to do what you want.  if you want to get weekends and holidays off DONT be a cook, MP, or a medic, they dont get weekends off.  hope that helps you.

Well I couldn't find an exact answer but according the department of Labor and Fair Labor Standards Act there is a two statute of limitations on collecting back pay but I am not sure how they handle commission based pay.  It does mention that the secretary of labor may bring suit for back wages and you can also file a private suit against your employer.  It doesn't specifically outline any requirements about back commission pay owed but here are a couple places to check, hope that helps some, \n\nThanks,\n\nKenny

I'm not fully sure, but offhand I think the answer here is not a good idea.\n\nThe IRS looks at the line for officer's compensation in comparison to the rest of the return looking for someone trying to take all their compensation out via dividends.\n\nAlthough this isn't your case, I think it would be hard to argue that you are an independent contractor because of your relationship with the company.  Generally, this is a hot button issue with the IRS as many 'think' they can fit into the independent contractor because the definition is really vague.  \n\nIn any case, I'd consult your tax advisor for a look during your tax planning.

I am in the Army and the guy who works next to me in my current unit is a navy guy but we are NOT a joint command, we are an Army command with Airmen, Sailors, and Marines assigned.  I think Congress authorizes Joint Commands because when a command is joint it has special privileges in regards to personnel assignment, evaluations, and awards.

This does vary from state to state but in Cal it is solely on Base pay only.  There has been legislation in the past that was trying to change this but then it got put to the side and a new administration came in.  Sorry, I know this is not the answer you were looking for.

anyone that had a job when called to duty should have that job when they return home. unless they quit their job to join.

Yes.  An employer can set any training requirements or continuing education requirements for any position.  Unless you have a contract that says otherwise they are under no obligation to pay for the training itself or for the time you spend in training.

It's ususally just called "military retirement." \n\nYou can visit the US military's retirement web site for more information at http://www.dod.mil/militarypay/retirement/index.html\n\nAlso, you can refer to http://www.me.ngb.army.mil/Your%20Benefits/Handbook/Military%20Retirement.htm\n\nI think you have to serve a minimum of 15 years to qualify for military retirement benefits. This may differ by branch of service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Reserves, National Guard).

Honestly?\n\nAt this point, there's not much of a difference. NG's are mobilized for 18-24 months at a time, AD go for a year at a time...... \n\nActive, you have the continuity of benefits, and pay, while Nat'l Guard, you have the intermittent pay and benefits only while he's active.... \n\nIt all depends on what he (and you) are lookign for. Security, and stability is Active. Nat'l Guard is uncertain...... you never know when he'd be activated or for how long.\n\n\nADDED: Warrior Training is crash course basic, for those that don't need the whole thing agan. Like a Refresher course. He can see if there are any "STAR" MOSs available for him that he'd qualify for. Those are high demand jobs, that are currently seriously understrength.

Federal law has no requirements on non-wage pay, such as vacation and sick time. The company voluntarily offers it and can take it away. However, if the contract specifically states that he can get paid for left over vacation after resignation, then he must get paid. Your state may have stricter laws about such things, but most have no laws about sick or vacation time.

No one can give you the right answer, based on the limited information in your question.\n\nIt is different in each state. do a search for employment laws in your state to get the correct answer.

The rank is not ceremonial but is only given in times of war.  There is no pay raise for the rank O-10 is the highest you can get paid and thats not too bad $14158.30 per month oh yeah and because Generals cut their own orders it will probably be tax free.  Thats 170,000 per year not bad huh
