A staff member who is called up for military service, alternative non-combatant service or reserve training or is recalled to serve in the armed forces shall be assigned the status of ‘leave for military service’; in the case of a staff member with a fixed-term contract, this status may in no circumstances extend beyond the duration of the contract. A staff member who is called up for military or alternative non-combatant service shall cease to receive his remuneration but shall retain his right to advancement to a higher step and promotion under these conditions of employment. He shall also retain his right to retirement pension if, after completing his military or alternative non-combatant service, he pays up his pension contributions retroactively. A staff member who is called up for reserve training or recalled to serve in the armed forces shall, during the period of training or recall, continue to receive his remuneration subject to deduction of an amount equal to his service pay. ▼
