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.
