If your Reservist employee is mobilised, an information pack will be sent out to you by the MOD or given to your Reservist employee to forward on to you. This will outline details of how you can apply for financial assistance. You’ll normally be sent or given a claim form at the same time.
You’ll need to complete this and send it off to the Adjudication Officer for the relevant service so they can consider your claim.
What kind of information will I need to provide?
- Your full name and contact details, including your business address, phone number, fax number and email address.
- Details of the employee in question, including their full name, National Insurance number and their staff, works or clock number.
- Written evidence of their relevant earnings.
- Written evidence of your replacement costs such as hiring a temporary replacement.
- Written evidence of your one-off costs, such as advertising for a replacement or using an employment agency.
Timings
The latest you should normally make any claim, other than for training, is within four weeks of the date of your Reservist’s last day of full time service. If you think you may have difficulty completing the form within that period, contact the Adjudication Officer straight away. They might be able to offer you an interim award based on the information you can provide.
