To approve a revised Armed Forces and Reservists Policy that has been brought together to clarify, update and expand upon a number of policies and practices relating to military service by Cherwell District Council employees.
The Council currently has two policies relating to reservists. (‘Leave of Absence - Service in Non Regular Forces’ and ‘Service in Armed Forces’) These policies are out of date and lacking the detail and clarity necessary to help employees and their managers.
The revised policy will;
§ Update the definition of the Reserve forces and articulate the Council’s support for employees who are or become members of the Reserve Forces during their service with the Council.
§ Grant additional leave entitlements for reservists carrying out annual training (annual camp) and reservists who have been mobilised.
§ Establish a clear mobilisation protocol so that employees and managers understand their obligations.
The policy was due to be considered by the Personnel Committee at their meeting of 19 March 2020. The agenda for this meeting can be accessed via the following link: Personnel Committee agenda
