I was hired by a police department recently and was given a date for the academy. I told them I had my AT from late April to late May, but they scheduled me to attend in April. I asked and I need to go to my AT so now the department is saying they will need to push back my start date until after I get back from AT. Usually before attending the academy there is some on the job training, uniform issue etc. Is it legal for them to push that start date back? I still have the job just will have to start 3 months after what they initially told me. Just trying to get a better picture, thanks

Sounds like a win/win for the most part. Yea, your training for the police got kicked back....but you still are gonna train with the police. Plus, they aren't trying to get you to exit out of your military obligation. Take this as a good thing.

I see no issues here. Why would they start you in their academy, only to have you immediately leave to do your AT? They haven't denied you the job. They just adjusted your start date so that your military obligation does not impact your on-boarding process and initial law enforcement training.

So.... You told them you need to be accommodated for AT and they did..... And the issue is???
I get where you're going. You should definitely sue.
