Apply for an exemption, revocation or deferral where a reservist has been called up for military service

Key points

  • An employee who is a member of the reserve forces may be called up for military service, sometimes with very little notice.
  • The employer can apply for an exemption, revocation or deferral if it can show that the employee's absence would cause serious harm to the organisation.
  • The application for an exemption, revocation or deferral must be made within a very tight timescale.
