Notice how the only AT&T entity mentioned as doing the same thing is the AT&T Government Solutions team, which is mostly current reservists/ex-government employees anyway.

I noticed JC Penney and Wal-Mart made the grade, but K-mart and Target didn't.

Yes....also more state and local govt jobs IE firefighters police also recieve their regulare salery while called up.  Those that dont at least pay a difference if their active duty salery is lower.  

On the other hand....the FED. Govt DOES NOT.  I was a GS-9 when called up for operation "enduring freedom".  Not only did I take a pay cut, I was also RIFFED and reclassed as a fire alarm tech at WG-8 pay.  Since this was retroactive I ended up oweing money because of the two weeks of military furlow pay that I did recieve.
