Reservists' military training commitments
How military training time can both impact and benefit you as an employer of Reservists.
Reservists are committed to undergoing military training throughout the year, much of which can directly benefit their employer when they return to their civilian jobs.
The main annual training commitment is a two-week training camp. Other commitments may affect Reservist employees who usually work outside of normal office hours, eg:
- weekly training - held locally for about 2.5 hours, one evening a week
- weekend training - several weekends throughout the year
Some Reservists undergo additional voluntary training in areas such as health and safety, IT, and personnel management. Read more on the benefits of employing Reservists.
Some employers grant Reservists extra leave for training but there is no obligation for you to do so.
