AI Summary

This bill proposes to provide military leave for up to 40 days per year for members of the ready reserve or Massachusetts National Guard who need to undergo military training with the U.S. armed forces. The bill requires employers to restore these employees to their previous or a similar position with the same status, pay, and seniority upon completion of the training. The leave may be with or without pay, at the employer's discretion, and shall not affect the employee's right to receive normal benefits such as vacation, sick leave, bonuses, and advancement opportunities.
