A.  All officers and employees of any employer in the private
sector, who are members, either officers or enlisted, of the Reserve
Components of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast
Guard, or any other component of the Uniformed Services of the
United States, shall, when ordered by the proper authority to active
or inactive duty or service under Title 10 of the United States
Code, be entitled to a leave of absence from such private civilian
employment for the period of such service without loss of status or
seniority.  During such leave of absence in any federal fiscal year,

military base pay.  The durational limit of protected military
service as provided for in this section shall not be less than that
provided by federal law.
If any employer in the private sector fails to comply with the
provisions of this subsection, the officer or employee may bring an
action in district court for the same remedies and damages provided
for in Section 17 of this act, for such noncompliance and may be
granted such relief as is just and proper under the circumstances.
B.  All officers and employees of any employer in the private
sector, who are members, either officers or enlisted, of the state
military forces, shall, when ordered by the proper authority to
state active duty or Title 32 active duty, be entitled to all the
protections provided under the Oklahoma Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.
C.  "State active duty", "state military forces", and "Title 32
active duty", for the purposes of this section, shall be defined in
