Reinstatement Following Resignation to Serve in Armed Forces. Employees who resign employment to serve in the armed forces, either of the United States or the State of California, have a right to return to employment prior to the date at which their employment would have ended had they not resigned. They shall notify the President in writing of their intention to return, and this shall be done within six (6) months of the termination of active service with the armed forces. Such right to return to a position shall not be granted employees who fail to return to their positions within twelve (12) months after the first date upon which they could have terminated, or cause to have terminated, their active service. The foregoing paragraph does not apply to any employee to whom the right of reinstatement has been granted under any other circumstances.
