Military leave of absence

Question
How long of an absence must be granted by an employer to an employee for military leave? 
Answer
The period of military leave for an extended tour of service may be up to five years. Military leave must also be granted for short-term duty, such as "summer camp" reserve training, or emergency disaster call-up.

Leave must be granted in the event an employee enlists, is conscripted or ordered for active duty in the uniformed services.
