Full-shift counting for firefighters’ military leave

Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas counts a 24-hour or 48-hour shift as one workday when calculating paid military leave. This applies to public employees covered by the state’s military-leave law who meet its definition of fire protection personnel. The rule governs paid leave calculations within a fiscal year; it does not set a separate dollar benefit.
