For anybody that is having trouble getting off work for the welcome home ceremony and 48 hour pass because of last second changes or the need for more advance notice, please try to talk to your HR department about the FMLA NDAA (Family and Medical Leave Act National Defense Authorization Act). This allows for the spouse, son, daughter, or parent of a member of the military that is deployed to a foreign country the ability to have time off of work for circumstances the arise as a result of the deployment (such as coming home, needing to pick your Soldier up to give them a ride due to the no driving restriction, etc.). Most HR departments and employers prefer ample notice but due to the nature of everything going on and the last second changes, that is a hard reality for most of us.
If your employer or whomever requires something official explaining the last second changes or anything, please let us know and we will write one for you.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions. Here is the link for a little further information:
