USERRA 101: Understanding & Administering the Employer’s USERRA Obligations

Description:

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) protects service members’ reemployment rights when returning from a period of service in the uniformed services, including those called up from the reserves or National Guard, and prohibits employer discrimination based on military service or obligation. The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) administers USERRA.

This presentation describes the basic provisions and requirements of reemployment rights and veterans’ preference afforded persons who perform duty, voluntarily or involuntarily, in the uniformed services, which include the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Public Health Service commissioned corps, as well as the reserve components of each of these services. Employer compliance responsibilities surrounding the general requirements, service member reemployment eligibility and protections will be outlined and explained.
