DOL-09/08-3E: Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights

Reduce employer-employee employment issues originating from service members’ military obligations conflicting with their civilian employment

Other Information:

Strategies: * Investigate employment and reemployment complaints. * Conduct compliance assistance activities to reduce the number and severity of complaints. * Conduct briefings to National Guard and Reserve units as they are mobilized, and again as they are demobilized. * Provide continuous outreach efforts to increase public awareness of the civilian employment rights of returning service members. * Increase the quantity and quality of information available on the World Wide Web for both service members and employers. * Work closely with the Department of Defense and the individual Military Services to maximize the direct delivery of information.

Stakeholder(s):

• Veterans’ Employment and Training Service: The Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) discharges the Department of Labor’s primary responsibilities under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) to ensure that returning veterans and members of the National Guard and Reserve components suffer no penalties in their civilian jobs as a consequence of their military service. This is especially important today, with the activation of half a million Guard and Reserve members since September 11, 2001.
