During our discussion; we mutually agreed that there is no interpretive dispute between the parties at the National Level as to the meaning and intent of Part 517 of the ELM as it relates to an employee's alternatives when military duty is in conflict with scheduled work requirements. Accordingly, as we further agreed, this case is hereby remanded to Step 3 for further processing by the parties at that level based upon the fact circumstances involved, with the understanding that if rescheduling or a mutual trade of workdays cannot be approved, the employee has the option of using military leave not in excess of fifteen (15) days, annual leave, or leave without pay.
