AZ HB2771

Amends Arizona law to broaden the definition of military duty for which employees can take unpaid leave, replacing specific references to "camps, maneuvers, formations or armory drills" with the general term "training" under competent military orders.

Expands leave protections to apply to members of National Guard and United States Armed Forces Reserves for both active duty and training purposes, regardless of specific activity type.

Maintains existing protections that military leave does not count toward vacation eligibility calculations and employees cannot lose seniority while on authorized military leave.

Clarifies that employees cannot be charged military leave for days they were not otherwise scheduled to work, and military leave hours are calculated based on average weekly work hours with annual limits of up to three times average weekly hours per year.

Applies to all public employees including state officers, county, city, and town employees, and their respective agencies and political subdivisions.
