When called for active duty with the National Guard an employer is not required to pay wages for time absent from work.

No, they are not required to pay their wages. They should hold the job for them when they return. My employer, USPS, gives national guard members a certain number of hours per year paid time to attend weekend drills and the two week summer training. They will keep them on the rolls while gone and allow them to pay their portion of health insurance to keep it in force. Their job is waiting on them when they return.

Employers are not required, although many do, to continue to pay a soldier while deployed. If you have specific questions, seek out a representative from the Employer Support For the Guard and Reserve. go to this site, it will have resources for you www.esgr.org/

some employers do continue to pay wages, especially civil service jobs. some other jobs will pay the difference if the military pays less. but an employer is not obligated to pay. their only obligation is to hold your job for up to 5 years provided that you went about it correctrly, and they must give you anything you would have been entitled to(bonuses, pay increases) had you been there and working
