The
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act (USERRA)
laws changed effective 18 January 2006 to better protect our military
members. The
Department of Labor’s action is the latest in a series of proactive
steps taken to ensure job security for the largest group of mobilized
National Guard and Reserve service members since World War
II. USERRA prohibits discrimination against past and present members of
the uniformed services and establishes reemployment rights for service
members who want to return to the jobs they held prior to military
service. The
link to the Department of Labor Website,
which has the final USERRA Regulations as well as a wealth of
information for both the employer and the employee,
is http://www.dol.gov/vets/programs/userra/ The
new regulations, drafted in an easy-to-read, question-and-answer format,
explain how USERRA protects against discrimination and retaliation
because of military service; prevents service members from suffering
disadvantages due to performance of their military obligations, and
affords them ample time to report back to jobs following completion of
their service obligations. A copy of the regulations is attached in .pdf
format. “Employers are required to provide to persons entitled to the rights and benefits under USERRA, a notice of the rights, benefits and obligations of such persons and such employers under USERRA. Employers may provide the notice, "Your Rights Under USERRA", by posting it where employee notices are customarily placed. However, employers are free to provide the notice to employees in other ways that will minimize costs while ensuring that the full text of the notice is provided (e.g., by handing or mailing out the notice, or distributing the notice via electronic mail).
