Government Executive: Disabled veterans who are former federal employees and return to a civilian job in government could be eligible for a new type of leave to attend medical appointments.
The 2015 Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act gives 104 hours of sick leave up front to first-year feds who are vets with a service-connected disability rating of at least 30 percent to attend medical appointments related to their disability. It applies to those hired on, or after Nov. 5, 2016, and lasts for 12 months from the date of hire.
